OUCH! do you have bacitracin?? or AAA ointment? One of those anti-inflammatories?
Soak your toe in warm water with epsom salt for about 20 minutes.. That works to soothe the pain and pull some of the infection out. After that, put some bacitracin ointment on it and wrap it loosely with a bandaid or something similar. Repeat several times a day.
If it's not better or it gets worse in a few days, please see a doctor. Those infections can be nasty and painful. The soaking and bacitracin should help, though.

Reason: changed "saline" to epsom salt
