Put a cold compact on it and elevate it, go to a hospital and get an xray if it hurts quite a bit and/or she finds it difficult to use as it could be broken

She needs to get to a doctor. They'll be able to properly affix it and prescribe pain meds.

well its gonna hurt.... you probably bruised it quite badly. It will take a while to heal because of the internalbleeding. If it doesn't heal in a few more days (within the week) you should consider the doctor. Your mom shouldn't be using that finger so help out some and do some extra chores =] (I bet ur mom likes that suggestion!)

If she cannot move it or the coloring is very abnormal, go to a doctor. She could have broken or shattered the bone.

Otherwise, just ice it frequently and take tylenol or some other analgesic to relieve the pain. It will probably throb and bruise, but the pain will go away as the finger heals.

Take her to the doctors or emergency room.

Hopefully you have health insurance. It would be a good idea to go to Prompt Care or local hospital. You could splint it up your self, if you have no insurance. Take some Tylenol. If she hit the knuckle she will have to go to the hospital but if it was just the straight bone you might be ok to just splint it up. Good luck!

Ice it and keep it elevated so the swelling goes down

visit your doctor/hospital....check bone of the finger by rontgen. I think your mom need strong analgesic/painkiller...and anti inflammation like tramadol....
