Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the wrist sprain.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application.
I recommend to use a brace to maintain the wrist immobilized.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
