What should I do if I injure my finger while playing ball?
After injuring your finger while playing, do not move it. After applying medication externally, bandage the finger for fixation. After the injury, avoid moving the finger as much as possible. You can use ice to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Then apply some medicine to promote blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis. After that, bandage it. Raise the finger as much as possible to prevent it from drooping and making the swelling worse.

After your finger is injured, you can choose to use traditional Chinese medicine for external application. This allows the medicine to penetrate the wound quickly, helping to relieve pain and reduce swelling. Traditional Chinese medicine also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis. Within 24 hours after the finger injury, you can apply cold compresses first and then switch to hot compresses to better heal the wound and aid in recovery.

If your finger is only slightly injured, you can perform some simple bandaging treatment yourself. However, if the injury is severe, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In this case, the finger may have severe damage, and the joint may be misaligned or have abnormal flexion and extension. Therefore, avoid moving the finger and elevate the injured finger to promote blood circulation.

If the finger is injured and affects the tendons or bones, you can use tape or gauze to tie the injured finger to an adjacent finger. This can stabilize and protect the finger, preventing further damage. Then, proceed to seek medical attention.
