Don’t worry, Ganglion is a benign thing.
No medications will help you in this.
Aspiration/Injection or Excision is the only treatment.
That needs physical consultation.

Ganglion cyst requires injection.
For the rest of the hand, recurrent swelling and stiffness can be an early sign of inflammatory arthritis.
Consult your treating orthopedic surgeon whenever feasible for further cousre of action, which includes detailed discussion about your condition and physical examination followed by relevant investigations to reach a diagnosis.
