I hurt my thumb while playing sports. I wonder if it is sprained or broken, it is blue and swollen. What should I do?

Hello Ma'am,

Only a doctor will be able to confirm if it is broken or just sprained (after examining the finger).

That said, the best thing in this case is to immobilize the thumb with a splint. So I recommend going to a pharmacy and showing your finger to the pharmacist along with getting a splint.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
