What Is The Treatment For Lump On Finger After Smashing Finger?
My Mom smashed her finger inbetween a piller and a cart, she can make a fist but it hurts to the touch its a lump where she smashed it and its located past the nuckle and before the part where it bends, should she go to the emegency or will it go away?
Swelling and pain secondary to finger getting smashed, most likely suggest soft tissue injury (muscle and fascia).
I would suggest that she does hot compresses, 2-3 times daily.
An OTC pain killer e,g ibuprofen twice or thrice daily, would help in reducing the pain and inflammation. However, I would suggest that you consult an orthopedician. He/She might want to get an X-Ray of the affected area to look for any possible fracture
