How Do You Treat a Jammed Infected Finger?

Q: I recently jammed the tip of my pinkie finger and it hurts really bad, my mom said it looks infected, how do I treat this?

A: It is hard to jam just the tip of your finger. Was it jammed or whacked/bumped? Is there an open cut? If there is, put OTC antibiotic cream and ice it. Just because it is red doesn’t mean it is infected, just means it was bumped hard. If it is swollen ice it if it doesn’t get better in a couple days see a doctor.

How do I treat a Jammed finger??

Q: I jammed my finger by blocking a kid trying to catch one of my teamates with the football at school today and that was around 2:40 and I havent done anything for it yet and it is swelled but hasnt changed colors but I dont know what I should do to treat it

A: There’s nothing much you can do. Make sure it isn’t dislocated, which should be fairly obvious. Make sure you ice it down as much as you can, to reduce swelling. Heat will make it worse. You can also compress it by wrapping it, this will reduce the swelling, as well as lessen it’s movement and hasten the healing. Your finger will still be out of action for a week or two at least.
