Hello,
There are chances of injury to finger bones due to punching against a hard surface. I would like to advise X-ray of the hand anteroposterior and oblique views to rule out a fracture. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you.
Meanwhile, do ice compression and tab Aceclofenac twice a day can be taken for pain relief. Visit orthopaedic surgeon is recommended if X-ray report is abnormal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
