Answer 1: Zonka
The finger should be iced. Taping (compression can also assist with swelling). The only way to tell if a finger is sprained or broken is with a xray. The swelling should ideally go down in about 7 days.

I Hurt Mine Too With It. But As Long As Its Safe, It Will Be Cured By Nothing. All U Have 2 Do Is To Like... Breaking it by Pulling It From The Tip Of Ur Finger... Sorry About Saying "Breaking It" I Am Not Much Good In English Im Talking About making sound from a bone like, If A Bone Breaks Theres Sound (crack). ANYWAY After 4-5 Days... Wow Its Cured. I Did Nothing Really... I Play Basketball With my Swollen Finger Too...

It is going to take a few weeks for the swelling to go down. Go see a doctor to have an x-ray and a MRI done to make sure that you did not tear anything in your knee. I also hurt my knee cap a month ago. I went to the doctor and he said it will take a few weeks for the swelling to go down. In two more weeks I have to go to physical therapy. Get well soon. Keep your leg on a pillow to rest it.
