Hello, I have read your query. I think you have injured your little finger, which may be only a soft tissue injury or may be associated with some bony fracture. First of all, you should gently strap your little finger with your ring finger. This will provide some splintage and rest to your injured finger. You can also do some ice compresses, along with elevation (Avoid hanging you hand, as it may increase the swelling and pain). You should take some analgesics (Pain-killer tablet) and obtain an Xray of your injured hand. If possible you should consult an Orthopaedician or post your radiograph, if it is available. Please feel free to ask any further query or a followup question, if you have.

Remember, primary treatment for this type of injury is" RICE" R= Rest I = Ice C = Compression (crepe bandage) E = Elevation (Keep the hand or leg up for minimizing swelling) If the pain persists you need to consult an orthopaedic surgeon for opinion.
