Answers:
Put ice on it for about 15 to 20 minutes then take the ice off for about 30 minutes then reapply the ice again!. You may have just bruised your hand really bad!. If it swells up or if it becomes hard and painful to move then you need to see an M!.D!. it could have a fracture in it!. Give it a day or two if it gets worse then go to the doctor if not then you should be OK try not to use it to much for the next few days to let it heal up some!. You can take some Tylenol if it hurts like 2 extra strength, just make sure you take no more than 5 a day and drink plenty of water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
