Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Bruising In Finger After An Injury
My 13 yr old son got the distal phalange of his RH pinky finger shut in a window. Had minor swelling and bruising, the end of his finger is not straight. After putting it into a finger splint over night it appears better. Will this heal itself? What would they do for him at a dr s office that we did not already do..besides an x-ray?
It could be an inflammatory pain. As of now you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
