How Can An Injured Forearm Be Treated?

Hello,
It's good you put ice on it. Continue for the next couple of days. Then, by third day, put alternatively warm and cold compresses to dissolve blood.
If you will notice any unusual symptom or pain or if aggravating, should consult with your doctor as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
