What ointment can we try for my husband?s swollen and painful second toe (the one next to the big toe) that curls when he walks, since Moov spray and a crepe bandage haven't helped, or should we see a doctor?

Since topical options like Moov spray haven't helped, I highly recommend seeing a doctor or podiatrist. The curling motion when walking can indicate a tendon strain or a joint alignment issue (like a hammertoe) that requires a professional physical evaluation. For temporary relief, you may try applying a generic diclofenac gel to help ease the localized inflammation. In the meantime, please have him wear comfortable, wide-toed shoes to avoid putting extra pressure on the toe.
