Answers:
I am an alternative medicinal therapist and believe it or not we go through first aid training. I am also St John Ambulance trained so when i tell you to go to the hospital for an X Ray you should believe me. Many complications can arise from a break that is not treated.If you foot is broken you will have a very large swelling, it will be very painfull and you not be able to move to move your toes very easily.There a 3 types of fractures-open-closed and complicated.If it isn't broken then keep an ice pack on it to reduce the swelling and ease the pain and the inflammation. Wintergreen ointment will not help, you need 'witch hazel' lotion or lavender oil 3 drops in 5ml of olive oil.(unless your skin is broken) And keep the foot up for a few days.
