You need to visit an orthopedic surgeon for this, he might want to do Xray or even an MRI of the area and this can indeed be treated, treatment options range from medical to surgery, he can take tylenol for pain relief and icing helps relieve infalmation but resting the finger and protecting it from further damage are important.
I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.
