Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Do get an xray done for hairline crack or subluxation in which some movement is possible. Do hot water fomentation and wear a finger splint to avoid movement and promote healing and to subside swelling. See a orthopedic doc. and get xray.Take paracetamol/ibuprofen thrice a day if available, after meals.
