If the pinky is turned to the side, you need an x-ray. Until then, follow the rules of any bruised or sprained body part:
RICE
Rest
Ice (20m on, 20 off)
Compression (tape not too tightly)
Elevation (above heart)

happens often, playing football. tape a ice cream bar stick to the underside of it and your ring finger. no stick just tape it too your ring finger. ice it for pain and swelling.

Go to your health care provider please about your finger.
