Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also suggest to use cold compresses for relieve and maintain the hand elevated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
