The responsible answer is yes, you should go. I probably wouldn't go myself though unless I thought it needed to be set and would cause trouble on down the line. But then I don't go to the doctor for anything. I'm 65 and never even been to a doctor for a checkup.

if you don't I'd recommend getting a "toe splint from the nearby pharmacy.
Nurse here. I would go to urgent care tomorrow. Most EDs are full or way too busy as it is.
Yes it is only a broken toe, but it is still good to get checked out in case there is anything concerning.

You are going to have to go to the ER. Urgent care doesn't usually have x-ray equipment and you will need it. Also, the break will get worse and infected. Then they have to amputate the toe.
Meh. They will just tape it to the little piggie that had none. Check online "how to treat a broken toe".
DMSO applied throughout the day will sort it. Just understand the dangers of improper use. Make sure you read up on it. Some people say knitbone / comfrey is good too.

Do you have it buddy taped to the fourth toe?
