Hi, you need to get done xray to rile out any fracture.
For now don't move the finger. Put pressure bandage for both the fingers and take NSAID like aceclofenac or Ibuprofen with serratiopeptidase for pain and swelling. Can apply cold compression.
These will help you. Reply with xray report for further discussion on the management.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
