Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

There is possibility of bone injury or ligament tear. First, I will advise to send x ray and see if there is any fracture. There is a possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or phalange joint.

If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint. Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.

For early healing, you can take tablet Celin [vitamin C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [tablet Enzomac plus].

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vaibhav Gandhi
