See MD: Recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation. If you're still having significant pain, it's possible you may have broken your finger or torn the ligaments around the joint. You usually get the most swelling in the first 2 days, at this point, if still painful and significantly swollen, recommend further evaluation.
