Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that there is no need to worry as the pain will be resolved in a couple of days.
However you need to do the following things
1. Do not put any significant work pressure of the affected finger and give it proper rest.
2. Apply some muscle relaxing ointment like volini twice daily.
3. Hot water fomentation will help you.
4. If you feel the pain is disturbing you then you can take some painkillers like Tab Ultracet one tablet twice daily after food for 3 days.
Follow the instructions and you will be relieved in a couple of days. If in case pain doesn’t subside in 3-4 days after doing all this then you need to get an X-ray done and consult an orthopaedic personally to rule out any bony injury.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
