How to heal a swollen finger?!
Question: How to heal a swollen finger?
I just injured my left index finger playing basketball and now it's all puffed up. (I've actually injured this finger three time previously, so it's probably really sensitive) However I have a piano concert coming up and I find it hard to play with this swollen finger. What do I do?

Ice it for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off several times a day. Rest it as much as you can for a day or two to give it a chance to heal. Exercise it a little gently and slowly by moving it around. Take an appropriate antiinflammatory pain medication if you think you need it. This will help with both the pain and the swelling.
put an ice pack on it
