Swollen sore finger

Hi my 15 year old son’s finger has swollen up around the knuckle area. He’s had no injury to it and we have no idea what it could be. He said it was sore this morning but now the pain has mostly went. Now though it’s feeling hot though and is very swollen. The skin isn’t broken or anything and there’s no sign of infection. Any advice would be much appreciated as I’m worrying about it but obviously need to wait till the morning before I can get it checked by a go if need be. Thanks

I wonder if it’s an irritation/infection starting from the cuticle as it looks quite red there. Is it bruised at the underside bend in his finger as you can burst a blood vessel there without doing much.
How is it this morning?
