No it wont die and fall it off it is just bruising.It happened to me to only i dropped an ironing bored on my toe.Hold your foot up and rest it on something.Get some ice or anything frozen and rest it on your toe to calm the pain.Then check you can still wiggle your toe,if not then it may be broken so you should go to the hospital and get an x-ray.
Good luck

Paint all your other toe nails blue so it won't stand out.
Just put some ice on it and keep it elevated, if the swelling and pain don't get better in a few hours then go to an urgent care office.

Oh dear!! please apply ice on it,it will pain a little but dear it will help to ease the pain as well as the nail from dying. and if possible take two pans -one with ice and the other with lukewarm water and dip your nail for atleast 15 secs in each.repeat it for a couple of times! Good Luck!! and get well soon dear!!

Nope. It's just bruising and its normal. You could put some ice on it to keep it from swelling or getting worse but I'm afraid there isn't much one can do for a bruise.

well its definatly bruised right now, but you should rest, elevate and wrap it. I hope you get better. i know how that feels. and then nail could fall off eventually, theres not much you can do about that

well, you really cant do anything sweetie, because it falls off eventually. Just put ice on it and it will grow back. Dont worry, I know a person that that has happened to..... Just dont worry!!!!!

If it is going to fall off, it will fall off. I have tried everything to keep one from falling off and nothing has worked. When it did come off it wasn't bad at all and grew back quickly.

That is a bruise. It shouldn't fall off. However, it will take awhile for it to grow out. (Mine took over a year)

put ice on it, wrapped in paper towel for 15 minutes.
