Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Brusing On The Fingers After An Injury

Hello. I had softball practice today, and might have jammed/broken my fingers. I was going to catch the ball with my glove, when the ball hit my fingertips. Now, they are swollen, turning purple, and getting hard. I ve already iced them twice and splinter them once (I thought it would heal better that way). What should I do to allow them to heal?

You have bruishing and swelling over finger tip after injury that mostly because of blood accumlation surronding tissue.

Take one X ray if any facture present that can detected by it.

Take rest.
Avoid excessive stress and load .
Apply ice over it.
