depends, try a cold pack for 30 mins and then place a hot pack on hand for 30 min. it will help with imflammation. if you have pain aleve seems to work best, but if it is a bad pain, try tylenol rapid release. if swelling and pain last for more that 24 hours. go see your dr.Health Question & Answer

I would say a couple of days for the swelling to go down. You can take some pain killers.. or advil for the pain. I'm sorry and I hope you feel better :) Have a good day
