dd bashed her finger a week ago.... its STILL swollen and hurting

[dolally]

in fact another kid kicked dd's hand by accident while playing (with only socks on). So we thought nothing of it. It went black and blue and seemed to be getting better, but am now wondering if she broke it.

I would definitely go to the doctors or hospital - even though they probably won't be able to do much they should at least be able to strap it up properly and/or show you how to do it
