AnswerHoward,
I would definitely consult your podiatrist that performed the procedure on your big toe immediately for it is very hard to judge whether or not your situation is emergent. If you have any of these symptoms: fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, swelling, streaking up the leg, or any flu like symptoms I would definitely consider going to the emergency room.
That being said if you can make an appointment immediately with your podiatrist that would be beneficial.
There is no way I can give you sound advice over this type of messaging for your problem because a clinical examination is necessary.
Best Regards,
