Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Hand

I punched a fence 10 days ago with my right hand. It got swollen quickly and was painful to bend shortly after the punch. A day or two went by and the swelling decreased. Now, ten days later, the swelling has almost totally subsided and i can make a full fist with some tenderness in my right pinky knuckle. There is also still a hard bulge over my right pinky knuckle. I am trying to get back to playing golf, still a little to painful to do so though. Do you think it is broken, or is this how long it usually takes to heal after a punch to something hard?
