You need to get treated for gout as this is a form of arthritis that can cause deformity of your toe and can effect other joints as well. Cause of gout is an inflammation in your joint resulting from an accumulation of urate crystals. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines. These are substances found naturally in your body as well as in certain foods, especially organ meats — such as liver, brains, kidney and sweetbreads — and anchovies, herring, asparagus and mushrooms.
Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much or excretes too little of this acid. In that case, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle-like crystals (urate) in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling.
Crystal deposits also cause another condition, known as false gout (pseudogout). But rather than being composed of uric acid, pseudogout crystals are made of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate. And while pseudogout can affect the big toe, it's more likely to attack large joints such as your knees, wrists and ankles.
I was diagnosed with gout when I was in my early twenties. I now have large knots on my knees, wrists, and I have had two operations on my feet.

According to webmd you should take Ibuprofen or Naproxen. That will help with the pain and swelling. It also says that drinking 4 cups of coffee a day cuts your risk for getting it by 40%, so if you drink coffee, drink more!
Hope you feel better soon!

There is no home remedy. You have to see a doc

Try cherry fruit extract. But you should see a doctor too, because there is no guarantee natural remedies will work.

Something that will remove the pyramidadines from your blood supply. Here what worked for me , check with your Dr, even if you don't go to him/her, give them a call, since your milage may vary.
In a word Bananas.
1. Stop drinking.
2. Stop eating meats high in purines and which cause uric acid to get stored.
3. Stop taking salt - reduces the stress on the kidneys and blood-pressure.
4. Get WATER and/or cranberry juice to help keep things flowing through your kidneys.
5. Start eating potassium rich foods (bananas) - this will help get the uric acid crystals to become more soluable in your blood.
6. Get sleep - reduces the corisol levels and allows your body to heal better.
