Suggest Remedy For Wrist Pain

Today at ball I slid into home plate and hurt my wrist. I usually drag my hands behind me when I slide but I think I did something wrong this time because I instantly couldn t move it. I went swimming in the evening and it helped it a bit but it still really hurts. The pain is on the outside of my wrist (on the pinky side) I don t know what to do about it and if I should consult a doctor about it
