You should rest your wrist and avoid using it for heavy activities to prevent further injury. Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth for 15 to 20 minutes every few hours and keep your hand elevated to reduce swelling. You may take over-the-counter paracetamol for pain relief, or ibuprofen if you have no stomach or kidney issues, to help with pain and inflammation. Since there is swelling after an injury, it is advisable to have your wrist examined by a doctor to rule out a fracture and ensure proper treatment.
