How Can Swelling And Bruising On The Finger Be Treated?

I wore a ring yesterday, and my hands swelled up and I wasn t able to get the ring off till this morning, my husband had to snip it and broke it off. Now it has been 4hrs. And my finger is still swollen red and almost a black color by nail. Should I go to see a doc. Could I lose my finger?
