My handsome came between the door and it's been three days now and this is the condition. Will it get better on its own or could you please suggest over the counter ointments and medicine for it to get better?
Thank you

Dear Patient,
Thank you for sharing the details of your injury. It seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury to your hand. While minor injuries often heal on their own, it's always advisable to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
Based on the information provided, I would suggest the following:
* Rest: Avoid activities that aggravate the pain or swelling.
* Ice: Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours to reduce inflammation.
* Compression: Wrap the injured hand with an elastic bandage to provide support.
* Elevation: Keep your hand elevated above your heart to minimize swelling.
If the pain and swelling persist or worsen, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be used. However, it's important to follow the dosage instructions carefully.
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough examination and diagnosis. They can assess the extent of the injury and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include:
* Splinting: To immobilize the injured area and promote healing.
* Physical therapy: To improve range of motion and strength.
* Prescription medications: For more severe pain or inflammation.
If you have any concerns about your injury or would like to discuss further treatment options, please feel free to consult with me. You can reach out to me for a consultation or via WhatsApp at [redacted phone number].
I hope this information is helpful. Please take care of yourself.
Sincerely,
Answered
