Helpful Tips to Prevent a Smashed Finger

Content: Keep the ice on your finger for about 15 minutes at a time over the course of the first few hours. Keeping ice on the affected area for too long can lead to frostbite. Elevate the injured finger. Holding your injured finger up reduces blood flow thus reducing swelling and pressure. Don’t dangle your hand after you have smashed your finger. Move the injured finger. Be sure to move your finger gently. There may be some pain and throbbing but make sure to move it. If you cannot move your finger, then you should seek medical attention. Use over-the-counter medications.
