Brief Answer:
As explained below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I suggest you apply a cold pack twice daily for 2 days and you can take Tab. Dolo 650 mg for pain. It will reduce on its own within a week and the black discoloration within a month. As long as you are able to move your fingers there is no fracture.
I hope this answered your query.
