Suggest Treatment For Sore And Swollen Fingers
the side of my finger, close to the nail is extremely sore, red, swollen and throbs. No hang nail and no cuts. Started on Saturday but is worsening. I swear it is starting to hurt all the way to my elbow and is getting numb and tingly...any suggestions for a home remedy?

Hello,
I think most probably it can be infected. You can upload a photo of the fingers in reports probably you may need to use antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
