What do you if brake your finger?

If you suspect that you have broken a finger, it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. While it may not be a medical emergency, a broken finger can still be painful and can affect your ability to perform everyday tasks.

In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help manage the pain and swelling:

1. Immobilize the finger. Use a splint or cast to keep the finger in place and prevent it from moving. This will help to reduce pain and swelling.

2. Apply ice. Ice packs can help to reduce swelling and pain. Apply an ice pack to the affected finger for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day.

3. Elevate the hand. Elevating the hand above the heart can help to reduce swelling.

4. Take over-the-counter pain medication. Over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help to relieve pain.

It's important to follow the instructions of your doctor and attend any follow-up appointments. Depending on the severity of the break, you may need to undergo surgery or physical therapy to fully recover.
