Doctor can examine: Treatment for a smashed thumb or finger includes: hand rest, cold packs, and elevating that hand up to the chest. Some people use ibuprofen for 3 days to reduce the swelling and pain. If there is tense blood under the nail, the pain is severe, the finger crooked, or the range of motion significantly decreased, one's doctor can examine and treat.
