Yes, applying ice to a swollen toe can help reduce inflammation and numb the pain. Ice constricts blood vessels, which decreases blood flow to the area and can alleviate swelling. It's best to wrap the ice in a cloth or use an ice pack, applying it for about 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. However, if the swelling persists or is accompanied by severe pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
