Brief Answer:
You need to get x rays of the finger

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case. I think you may have fracture in finger. There is also collection of blood in finger so there is bluishness. I would suggest you following.
1.Get x ray of the hand to confirm the diagnosis.
2.Apply ice over hand. Take Brufen tablet for pain relief.
3.if their is any fracture then you might need splinting.
4. Bluish colour will take some time to go. It can be one week to two weeks.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other follow questions.
Thanks
