My finger is swollen and it hurts. Its only one finger, my index.

Hi,

Is your finger hot and red?

If there is no injury that explains your swollen finger, it might be an infection. I would cercle with a pen right now the swollen area and take an appointment with a doctor to get an antibiotic prescribed.

You really need to consult fast if you see that it progresses beyond what you circled with the pen.
