Coughing is a reflex that keeps your throat and airways clear. Although it can be annoying, coughing helps your body heal or protect itself. Coughs can be either acute or chronic. Acute coughs begin suddenly and usually last no more than 2 to 3 weeks. Acute coughs are the kind you most often get with a cold, flu, or acute bronchitis. Chronic coughs last longer than 2 to 3 weeks. Causes of chronic cough include.
Broken toes usually take about six weeks to heal. If problems last longer than six weeks, another X-ray may be needed, or the injury should be rechecked by the doctor to see how the bone is healing. The prognosis for a broken toe is generally good. Simple fractures usually heal well with no problems.
Best Answer: You can walk without crutches, they aren't needed for a broken pinky toe. Keep it buddy taped, put ice on it every now and then for swelling. The break itself should heal within 2 weeks but the swelling and ligament damage will take a little longer. If if hurts to walk, walk more on your heel and inner foot. I've broken at least 5 toes and my pinky toes repeatedly. Not much you can do about it but take pain meds and let it heal.
