Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Fingers And Hands

I took a fall yesterday and fell with all my weight on my hand. My fingers are swollen as well as my hand. I am having trouble moving a few of my fingers and my palm hurts a lot if I try to bend the fingers . There is no burse just a lot of swelling and pain.
