How to get off a ring from a swollen finger?

Has it happened to you before?


Update :
Thank you all for your helps , I went to the hospital and they called out the civil defense unit to remove the ring .

wrap an thickish elasticish string around your finger, slide it under it, then spiral pull the string until it comes off

Fairy liquid, put your hand in oil, some people used elastic bands under the ring and twist it off. Some people use string. The best thing is to hold your hand up to allow the blood to drain away from the area whilst you are doing this too.
First let the swelling go away by putting some ice. Second apply oil or soap or butter. Third tie a dental floss or thread above the ring area so the ring can be pulled out.

Go to a fire station and ask there, honestly most have a tool to do as do a lot of jewelers.

Soap and water ... worst comes to worse file it down

@SW-User I tried it but could not take it off
Try a antihistamine/hayfever pill to bring the swelling down.

I tried lotion and soap @BettyBeez

Soak the hand the ring is on in cold water.
