I experienced something similar in one finger earlier this summer. It was pain in the first knuckle area, and was sore/inflamed. When I cracked that knuckle, it didn't feel nice.
First, don't climb through finger pain. Take a few training days to do pullups and core, but don't touch holds.
Second, buy these: http://www.amazon.com/Acupressure-Massage-Rings-Chinese-Medicine-Set/dp/B006ZQTXAG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347000331&sr=8-1&keywords=acupuncture+finger+massager
They might seem gimmicky, but I started using them this spring, and it makes a noticeable difference for sore fingers.
You can also try some bengay/Icyhot, or another anti-inflammatory type cream.
It sounds like you're experiencing some soreness from strain and stiffness from overuse. This was common for me when I was getting started. The first thing you should do, is to listen to your body: if you're hurting, don't over exert yourself or you will be more prone to injury.
If it is a simple issue of strain/over use, I've found one of the best things to do is massage the fingers. Use the tips of all five fingers on one hand to massage each finger on the other hand. Make a ring with your five finger tips and slide up and down each finger on the other hand. repeat on both sides. Alternatively, use acupressure rings. I use these whenever my fingers are stiff; the stiffness recedes almost immediately.
If the injury is more serious, disregard this advice; seek medical attention and consider your options for rehabilitation and preventing re-injury.
