What can I do to make my swollen, hurting wrist better?

For a swollen and sore wrist make sure you ice it regularly, this will help with the inflammation. Anti-inflammatory medicines such as aleve or advil will also help with inflammation and also with the pain. Rest the wrist and use a support bandage if necessary.

Apply an ice pack--either the gel type that you put in the freezer or a bag of frozen peas works well. This will help with swelling and pain. Also try using a wrist splint (available without a prescription in drugstores. Use the wrist as little as possible while healing.
