My DS had his finger slammed in the door. The tip is purple, swollen and so is the nail. Can a tip even break? DO I have to take him to the dr. or will it heal by itself?

Yes it is possible to break the bone in there, but my experience was a little different. My son had the door close on his fingertip, and partially disconected it we had to go for XRAYS to make sure the bone wasn't broken.

I would go to the dr. if for no other reason other than reassurance. If ch"v you find out it's broken, you'll feel relieved that you went and can take care of it properly. In that case, why put the kid through more pain only to see it isn't healing properly in a few days?
