Hello,

I think the swollen fingers of your nephew are due to trauma during the football game if he has been involved in this game.

Apply cold compresses locally. Avoid playing until betterment.

If no improvement should see his caring doctor.

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

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
