"My finger is swollen and it hurts. It's just one finger, my index finger."

If your finger is warm and red, and if there is no obvious injury causing the swelling, it could be an infection. It is recommended to mark the swollen area with a pen and schedule an appointment with a doctor to get an antibiotic prescription. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you notice the swelling progressing beyond the marked area.
