Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint in case if there is infection in your injured finger, the pain is being caused due to infection and pain in hand is radiating pain from injury site. I would suggest you to start taking a course of antibiotics like Sulphamethoxazole and Trimethoprim. Take painkillers like Advil or Motrin or diclofenac. Clean the area with an antiseptic solution and try to Chat Doctor. . Apply Triple antibiotic ointment along with steroid ointment over it. You should avoid exposing the area to water. Keep it
