Hi,
Consult an orthopedician and get an X-ray to rule out the fracture. Apply ice packs and you can take analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like Aceclofenac/Serratiopeptidase combination also.
Most probably it will settle by three to four days. You might require a finger immobilizer also. Your orthopedician can help you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
