Hi Doctor,
My husband's ring finger got little swollen.
No pain. He is saying it might be due to unfortunately putting some weight on that finger.
It was 2 weeks ago.
Can you please kindly suggest any remedy for swollen finger.

Based on your history and assuming that you cannot assess medical advice due to corona virus lockdown, I am giving you my opinion.
Swelling without pain and that too without history of trauma is almost always worrisome . He will have to get examined and investigated initially with an X-ray first and then a proper treatment plan can be given.
Next Steps
If swelling is persistent or is increasing since last 2 week then immediate medical advice should be sought. However if swelling is decreasing and there are no other symptoms then you can try ICE Application ( Take ice in a cloth) 2 to 3 times a day. Tab Phlogam twice a day before meals can be taken to reduce swelling. I wouldn't advice any pain killers as there is no pain

Consult orthopaedic dr near you. If there is pain and stiffness get x ray done. Main problem in hand injury is stiffness. Do regular exercises for hand. Most injury will resolve in six weeks. Share photo of the hand
