Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Finger After Injury

I cut my finger on a clean brand new razor blade. It healed within a couple of days. But it has been three weeks and it still hurts to bend. It is my ring finger and swollen enough compared to my other hand I can t get the ring off. When I bend my finger I see that where my cut used to be it is a little red. Out of date tetanus. Do I need to go to the doctor or just keep waiting it out?
