1. Immobilize the Finger Tape the broken finger to an adjacent non-broken finger. 2. Control Swelling Cool the finger by applying ice that is wrapped in a towel -- don't apply ice directly to the skin since that may burn the skin. 3. Get Help Call a health care provider or go to a hospital emergency room immediately so the broken finger can be x-rayed and properly set. Without treatment, it may not heal properly and could lead to a permanent deformity. 4. Treat Symptoms Use an over-the-counter pain medicine such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).
