See your doctor : Meanwhile immobilze your finger , splint it with neighbouring finger, use NSAIDS unless contraindicated, for pain as needed, you may need and x-ray or referral to a hand specialist for evaluation. Small joints of the fingers take time to heal, so be careful as those joints are delicate, good luck
