Jammed finger?

Question: I jammed my finger playing basketball in gym today, but i didnt tell my teacher, cuz it didnt hurt that much. Now its swollen, and it is a little uncomfotable because i keep accedentally bending it, and then it hurts. i just want to know if i should tape it, or just leave it and try to not bend it, or something else? any suggestions?
thnx (plz tell me how to tape it, if that is ur answer)

Answers:
Are you sure it isn't broken? Apply ice to it for 20 minutes at a time. Immobilizing it may be helpful. If you have something like a Popsicle stick to hold your finger in place and tape around it. You should let the teacher know what happened because you may want to take it easy in gym for a couple days to allow it to heal.
