What is the best way to reduce swelling from a finger that got stuck in the doorway?

Ice, immobilized: If you have a large amount of swelling from this type of crush injury, it will gradually decrease with ice, splint and NSAID meds. If you have a large subungual hematoma, it can be very helpful to decompress the nail with a small needle with much improvement in pain.
