Suggest Treatment For Bump And Swelling In My Hand

Hi I woke up one morning about two weeks ago and realized my wrist was hurting so I assumed I slept wrong on it. I have had a bump that has been hurting right underneath my thumb on the wrist, today as I continued my daily duties I kinda bumped it twice and now my whole hand is swollen up to almost my elbow and I am in pain, what do I do?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , pain and swelling over your hand seems to be inflammatory in nature.

I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of hand and rule out any infective cause

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
