Suggest Treatment For Tingling And Swelling On Finger

Hi, my left hand pointer finger inside started tingling and swelling on yesterday. Today it is still swelling and hurting on the inside, it s a little red from inflammation. I didn t hit it nor do I recall getting bit by anything. I took aleve. Is there anything else I can do at home or does this sound serious enough to go to emergency room? The pain is around 7.
