What Should Be Done For Inflammation And Pain In The Finger?

My 6 year old granddaughter woke up this morning and then lay back down and has slept for another 5 hours. When she woke up this time, her left ring finger and half of the top of her hand is red, with the red going up towards her forearm and swollen. She says it itches and the finger hurts. I gave her a chewable acetaminophen tablet. Other than some ice, is there anything else I can do?
