Could Swelling In Finger Tips Be Due To Arthritic Calcifications?

I have developed swollen finger tips that have gone on now for about a week or more. Many years ago I broke these fingers playing true softball. They also itch? Is the swelling due to the arthritic calcifications on my third phalanx or something else?

HI
Well come to HCM
Allergic condition is very likely and this is nothing to take anything with the old history of injury, you can try some antihistamine if it does come around on its own, and the best option would be "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day" no need to worry about this, condition is self limiting most of the time, hope this information helps, take care.
