Summary

Content: Place an ice pack on the injured finger for 20 minutes at a time, between four and eight times daily. Applying ice can help reduce swelling and minimize pain. Compression. Wrap the injured finger in a soft dressing or a bandage. Make sure the bandage is snug, but not constricting. Elevation. Keep the injured finger above the heart to reduce blood pressure and swelling in the finger. Taking OTC pain medicines, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, can help alleviate pain and reduce swelling. Severe injuries, such as dislocations and fractures, require medical intervention. A healthcare professional can move a finger bone back into its joint and reset a fractured bone.
