Try to immobilize the injured finger until you can seek medical assistance by using a small splint and wrapping it with gauze or tape. A splint can be made from any small rigid object, like a wooden craft stick or even a spoon if it's necessary.
2Ice the injured finger to reduce swelling. Remove any jewelry from the entire hand, since swelling could spread to other areas. Avoid placing ice directly on the skin by using an ice pack or plastic bag. Keep the finger elevated above the level of your heart if possible.
3Seek medical help as soon as you can. The usual medical treatment for a broken finger is X-rays, followed by a splint, unless the fracture is severe enough to warrant orthopedic surgery.
4Continue to use ice packs after you get home to keep the swelling down, and take an over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to give you relief. Using a pillow to help elevate the finger while at rest will also help to reduce swelling.
