Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Blood Clot On Hand

My husband got off blood thinners two days ago. Today he hit his hand with a hammer and it is swollen and blood has been slowly coming out all day. Should we be worried of a clot forming. He was on the blood thinners for a fib and had his heart shocked 2 months ago. Heart is great.
