How to treat a broken toe?

Question

This one recently (two weeks past) broke his left little toe during aikido class.

This ones doctor was not available the day after this occurred so this one simply pulled the toe as straight as possible, taped it in that position and then taped that toe to the one next to it.

Is there anything else that might be done so that it might heal properly?

The swelling has gone done and the discoloration has receded. There is very little pain due to other more severe injuries.

Thanks to all who answer.
