My hand got injured by a ball and has swollen up. What should I do?

To lessen swelling, rest the hand and apply ice for 15 to 20 minutes every few hours. Until the discomfort and swelling subside, keep the hand raised and refrain from using it. See a doctor to rule out a fracture if you continue to have swelling, excruciating pain, or trouble moving your fingers.

I'm sorry to hear about your hand injury and swelling. Here are some steps you can take to manage the swelling and discomfort:

  • Rest: Avoid using the injured hand to prevent further damage.
  • Ice: Apply a cold pack or ice wrapped in a cloth to the swollen area for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours during the first 48 hours. This helps reduce swelling and pain.
  • Compression: Use an elastic bandage to gently compress the area, but not too tight to avoid cutting off circulation.
  • Elevation: Keep your hand raised above heart level as much as possible to reduce swelling.

If you experience severe pain, numbness, increased swelling, or difficulty moving your fingers, please seek immediate medical attention.

Since swelling can sometimes indicate a more serious injury like a fracture or ligament damage, it is important to consult an orthopedic specialist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

If pain persists or worsens, do not self-medicate with tablets like Kondro Acute without a doctor's prescription, as these are intended for specific joint conditions and not acute injuries.
