Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

Do ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help and give rest to hand and wrist.
You can apply crepe bandage for support.

You may need X ray of handto rule out any minor fracture.
You can consult your doctor by taking appointment, apparently it does not seems like emergency.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
