Hi
Your partner seems to have developed a cellulitis of the finger. This is basically a severe infection of the area.
Since the affected area is warm and tender , it will be necessary to give him some good oral antibiotics . I would advise you to see a local doctor soon . A pus culture might also be taken from the area. Sometimes even drainage of pus of the region has to be done in severe cases.
