Hello lybrate-user! you don't need such medicines if you have developed sprain in the toe. You should take rest for 4-5 days, apply splint, and take antiinflamatory agent for 4-5 days. I would advise not to take medicines over the counter from next time before seeing a doctor.

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.
Heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.
