Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Finger After Injury
On Sunday I accidentally slammed my right hand pointer finger in my dads truck. It has been swollen ever since, I cant bend the upper half of the finger, and the top of the finger is really tender to the touch. I have been doing ice and ibuprofen ever since then and it has still been swollen and painful.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest to do an x-ray of the finger to evaluate the damage of the injury.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.
I also recommend using cold compresses and a splint to maintain the finger immobilized.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
