What do I have to do with my swollen finger? Does anybody have a solution?!
Question:
Answers:
Ice, and elevate it.
Other Answers:
If it is bad and persistent see your doctor
Wrap it in a ice pack. The swelling will go down.
stick it in cider? What happened to make it swollen?
It depends on why it is swollen. But the first step is to ice it so it will go down. If it's bleeding and doesn't stop then you need to go to ER or if the swelling doesn't go down then you also should go to ER.
if ice dont work then go to doctor

Go to the hospital and they may be able to drain the fluid inside of it, or something

Edema is the increase of extracellular fluid in any organ. Generally, the amount of ECF is in balance. Increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium or impaired removal of this fluid may be associated with edema. Mechanisms causing increased secretion are inflammation, increased hydrostatic pressure and abnormalities in osmolality; abnormal removal can be found in low oncotic pressure and abnormal pressure on the lymphatic system.

Peripheral edema
Edema without a modifier usually refers to peripheral or dependent edema, the accumulation of fluid in the parts of the body that are most affected by gravity. In ambulatory people these are the legs, although in those who are bedbound the first manifestation may be sacral edema. If severe enough, peripheral edema may progress to involve the abdominal or even thoracic wall (this may be referred to as generalized edema or anasarca). In particular edema states (e.g. nephrotic syndrome, see below), periorbital edema (around the eyes) may be present.
Some phenomena may distinguish different causes of peripheral edema. Most peripheral edema is pitting edema - pressing down will lead to a shift in the interstitial fluid and the formation of a small pit that resolves over seconds. Non-pitting edema may reflect lymphedema, a form of edema that develops when the lymph vessels are obstructed.
Causes of peripheral edema are:
high hydrostatic pressure of the veins, leading to poor reabsorption of fluid
venous obstruction, e.g. deep vein thrombosis (typically one-sided)
congestive heart failure
varicose veins
low oncotic pressure
cirrhosis
malnutrition
nephrotic syndrome (renal protein loss)
epidemic dropsy
obstruction of lymph drainage
infection
cancer
fibrosis after surgery
filariasis
inflammation (active secretion of fluid into the interstitial space due to increased membrane permeability by inflammatory mediators):
allergic conditions (e.g. angioedema)
any other form of inflammation (tumor - or swelling - is one of the main characteristics of inflammation)
[edit]
Organ-specific edema
Edema of specific organs (cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, macular edema) may impair function. It has different causes from peripheral edema, although pulmonary edema is seen together with peripheral edema in severe fluid overload.
Common and usually harmless appearances of cuteneous edema are observed with mosquito bites and skin contact with certain plants (urticaria).
treatment- treat underlying infection
