Suggest Treatment For Glass Cut On Finger

I cut my pinky finger on some glass last Wednesday. It was down to the white meat. Have no insurance so I didn't go to E.R. my girlfriend has been taking care of it. Making sure it stay clean and bandaging at least twice a day with iodine but it's still swollen. It looks like it's healing fine but I haven't bent my finger since. Will it be okay?
