Answers:
Go to the ER.
Until then, tape it to the one next to it to keep it immobilized. Take Advil every 4 hours. Don't ice it. Elevate it and do not use it! Watch the person carefully for signs of shock, such as drowsiness, shaking, unresponsiveness, pale, clammy skin or dilated pupils, or anything unusual. Give them a cup of hot tea (not decaf) with at least 2 tbsp of sugar in it. If they are diabetic or have any chronic condition such as heart disease, take them to the ER IMMEDIATELY!
