Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello

I have studied your case,
You should take treatment if its deep cut.

I will advise to do x ray and rule out any unicortical fracture in your thumb.
There is possibility of injury to ligament of metacarpal or phalange joint.
If you are having swelling and pain you can strap your finger to get proper rest to joint.
Use ice packs to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
For early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus ].

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
