Do u have to put a splint on a sprained finger?

Yesterday when I was goofing around w/ my brother he accidentally bashed my finger w/ his knee. And today me finger feels like it is sprained. I can move it but it just hurts.
Do I have to put it in a splint or will it heal up on it's own w/o one?

it will heal regardless of what you do. the splint will help keep it from bending and hurting.

Do buddy taping - tape the injured finger with the neighboring finger. I sprained my pinky and taped it with the 4th finger for 6 weeks - That's what my doctor told me to do and it healed... Good luck!
