How Can Swelling And Pain In The Finger Be Treated?
I pinched my lift little finger at work between a cement corner of a building and a steel garbage containier. it is not broke. but the complete tip to the first knuckle is blue and swelled up .cant touch anything including ice can not put it in ice water or their is unbearable pain. I don t knom what to do.
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,
