How long does swelling last on a broken finger?

Swelling from a broken finger typically lasts for several days to a few weeks, depending on the severity of the fracture and the individual's healing process. Initial swelling is often most pronounced within the first 48 hours after the injury. Applying ice, keeping the finger elevated, and following medical advice can help manage the swelling. If swelling persists or worsens, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
