Brief Answer:
It is important to make an x-ray.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Apply ice packs to limit swelling and it may helps relieve pain. Wrap the ice pack in a towel to protect the skin. Also over the counter pain killers may help reduce the pain.
Symptoms like swelling and pain in the injured area may indicate bone fracture so I suggest you to make an x-ray of your hand to diagnose a fracture. Try to rest the limb as much as possible and avoid any lifting.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
