Lilmod Ulelamaid darling…

So many questions. More info needed.

Why is it swollen? Do you know or have any hypotheses?

Possible hypotheses:

-Mosquito bite

-Stubbed on front step

-Sat on it for too long

-Bee sting

-Foot injury

-Sitting or standing too long

-Shoe or footwear related

-Result of carrying heavy grocery bags with your toe up staircase made of Jerusalem stone

-Frostbite

-Fluid-retention side effect of current medication

-Grass allergy

-Staph infection

-Pesticide sensitivity

Which toe?

Is the rest of your foot swollen?

Does it hurt? Touching it? Walking on it?

Is it bruised? Inflamed? Bleeding? Scabbed? Frozen?

Can you still feel your toe?

How long has it been swollen?

Any other symptoms?

Is it your toe?

I feel like getting more info may help you Google more info so you can determine if it’s something to ice or elevate or if this is cause to see a doctor.

Also you can go to the local pharmacy and show the pharmacist your toe for free.

Ask the pharmacist for advice.
