Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to an injury of the finger. I suggest to use anti-inflammatory medications to relieve the inflammation and the pain.
I also suggest to use a splint to maintain the finger immobilized.
Cold compresses can help in relieving the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
