Suggest Remedies For Swelling And Redness In Finger

Hi, earlier today my mom felt a sharp needle poke her finger but when she looked at it nothing seemed wrong until we got home about 15 mins after it was swollen. Now at the same spot it became darker like a bruise. What should we do, how should we treat this?
