How To Cure Injured Finger?

hey, I was playing kickball today in P.E. and accidentally my index fingers got hit by the soccer ball instead of catching it correctly, I kept playing kickball instead of going to the nurse because it didn t hurt at first but then the pain increased really fast and the nurse gave me an ice packet. After about 5 hours, my dad got home and noticed my finger, he put bandages on it but now it s purple in the middle (where it bends)

hi,
You probably got injured your finger with soft tissue injury including extensor tendon causing mallet finger ( bent finger ).

You required to get diagnosed first through clinical examination and investigation like x-ray hand AP & oblique view to rule out any bony injury.

Therefore visit Orthopaedic surgeon for its management . Untill then keep your hand elevated at opposite shoulder level, do ice compression , and take analgesic , protone pump inhibitor ( pantoprazole etc) with chymotrypsin,tripsin combination .

In case of any queries feel free to contact

Thanks n regards
