Brief Answer:
Immobilize and need for xray
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Persistence of pain in smaller bones after an injury is an indication of fracture or dislocation.
I recommend you to immobilize the finger with the application of crepe bandage,
Also, to consult an orthopedician who can order an xray to rule out any fractures.
Till then you can apply diclofenac gel for pain relief.
Hope, I answered your query.
