Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury if the wrist. To confirm if the wrist is broken or not it is necessary to do an xray of the wrist.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using a splint to prevent further damage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
