Hello,

I don't think the finger is broken but the pain sensation is normal anyway we can't say if it is broken or not without a x-ray. Take Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen for pain relief. Use cold compresses. Keep the limb elevated.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
