It depends on the cause, but you should see a doctor. In most cases ice will help reduce the swelling, but it does not always help with the cause, which could be Allergies, injury, disease and infection.

I have a swollen pinky and first of all if u can't bend it then you have to go to the emergency room so they can put something around it! Next for the people that's swollen and can bend a little then you need someone to a least massage it!

You have an infected finger. The pus is your body fighting the infection. Depending how bad it is you may need to see a doctor. If it is just starting, clean it with peroxide( it will foam and bubble at first and that is good) put some neosporan on it, and cover it with a bandage. It should clear up in a day or so.

Soak it in ice water, or lukewarm salt water for 15 minutes.

Ice reduces swelling.
