Hi Welcome to healthcaremagic I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You probably have got soft tissue injury. Treatment of it is analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Elevation and active finger movement are advised. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You can get its x ray to rule out fracture. You should worry if there is fever.
