medical care in croatia is certainly available and highly affordable so i opt for the medical visit to be sure. while there may be little to do for a broken toe other than buddy-taping it to the adjacent uninjured toe there are incidents where fractures through the joint (or growth plate --- sorry i don't know your age) or very displaced fractures can cause considerable pain and perhaps problems later on if it is not properly treated. if a simple x-ray shows that it is not broken. or the fracture is very minor you can relax and enjoy your travels perhaps a little slower but at least with more confidence.
do i need to get medical treatment for a broken big toe? . dropped a large glass bottle on my big toe five days ago almost certain it's broken but how necessary is it too go to a doctor? . i'm currently traveling around europe (in croatia now) so finding a doctor may be hard. the toe is swollen bruised and the joint doesn't move much. the real concern to me is that there's a spot just below the knuckle that feels like there's bone closer to the surface than it ought to be bruising also appears to be spreading. doctor or no doctor?
