Your mother should go immediately to the nearest emergency room to have her finger evaluated and treated. Not sure what you mean by her “finger is dying” but she may have an infection that requires intravenous antibiotics or even a surgical intervention. Do not wait on this-take her to the nearest ER immediately!! Do not let it get any worse! Best of luck to her!!
