Hello,

Maybe, it is mono-arthritis of the ring finger. There are swelling and redness, you need anti-inflammatory medication to be taken in order to reduce the inflammation.

Take Ibuprofen drug for 3 to 5 days to reduce the inflammation. It is also a good analgesic which can help in reducing the pains.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana
