Brief Answer:
Probably carpal tunnel syndrome, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to carpal tunnel syndrome.
It is a condition caused by a pinched nerve of the finger.
I suggest to use anti inflammatory medications such Tylenol to relieve the numbness.
I also suggest to take a vitamin B12 supplement.
Stretching exercises of the hand can also be helpful to relieve the numbness.
The symptoms will probably relieve in a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards!
