Swollen finger is a symptom in which the fingers or toes appear abnormally swollen. The cause may be due to fluid accumulation under the skin. Swollen fingers are often a sign of certain symptoms or diseases, such as inflammation, infection, kidney disease, or a side effect of eating certain foods or taking certain medications.
Swollen fingers can occur in many forms. The most common symptoms are as follows:

- After observing the symptoms for a while, it was found that the symptoms did not improve. The fingers were very swollen and tight.
- In more severe cases, other symptoms such as bloating and vomiting may also occur.
You can do to help reduce swelling include:
- Applying ice to the affected area or over the bandage, which can also help reduce pain
- Taking anti-inflammatory medications, which can reduce swelling, especially when swelling is caused by arthritis
- Splinting, immobilizing, which can help stop more swelling from coming into the hand or arm
- Moving the fingers, wrist, and arm regularly, which can help pump the fluid back to the body. This is especially important for people with fractures of the wrist; anything that is not splinted or casted should move regularly.
- Wearing compressive wraps such as ACE wraps or isotoner gloves, which can be very helpful in massaging fluid back to the body. Do not apply too tightly.
In addition, if the swollen finger has been present for a long time, has been treated by yourself initially but has not improved, or the swollen finger is accompanied by symptoms that are signs of infection, such as a swollen or very painful finger wound, fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, you should see a doctor for treatment. The treatment may depend on the severity or type of infection.
