General Surgeon 's  Response
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.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
