There is a possibility of fracture in the toe causing pain and swelling.
Next Steps
It would be better to apply crepe bandage, start ice fomentation, keep the limb elevated over a pillow. Take analgesic and anti inflammatory medicine.
If pain doesn't settle down, you can get X ray of Foot - AP/Oblique view to confirm if there is any fracture.
