Take ibuprofen, probably 800mg. Continue to ice it for 15 minutes then remove the ice and let it sit for 15. Then either place on ice again or place under gentle heat for 15. Continue to alternate.
If the pain and swelling persists (> 24 hrs), see a doctor as you could possibly have torn ligaments, bruised the cartilage, or broken a bone.

The only thing I can tell you is to, wait until the swelling subceeds. Keep on applying ice on it, and try to keep the blood circulating.

You may want to call your family physician. Have some x-rays done - you could have broken your finger.
Hope you get well soon!
