Hi, I am a physical therapist. It sounds like you could benefit from icing your finger. Swelling is relieved by applying ice. For icing a finger, dunk it in ice cold water for 5 minutes. You also might want to do some easy movements of flexing and extending the finger. The muscles will act like a pump and help to reduce the swelling.
