For wrist pain from badminton, which is likely a mild strain, start with the RICE method: Rest your wrist, apply Ice for 15 minutes a few times a day, use a Compression bandage, and Elevate it. For direct relief, apply a topical diclofenac gel to the affected area 3 to 4 times daily. If needed, oral over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help reduce discomfort and inflammation. Wearing a supportive wrist splint also helps. If your pain is severe, accompanied by swelling or numbness, or doesn't improve with rest, please consult a doctor.
