Broken hand myabe what do we do?

Question

my brother thinks he broke his hand its swollen and kinda red and it hurts when he moves it.What do we do!?!?!

Answer 1

Get some ice or something cold to stop the swelling but try not to get frost bite. Then go to the hospital or clinic. Don't call an ambulance though...

Answer 2

If the pain is unbearable, or your brother's hand looks like it is misshapen, take him to the ER.  Otherwise, I would suggest RICE

Rest-obviously, try to avoid moving it around too much

Ice- depends on the injury, but i would try the ice and see if it helps

Compression- may not apply to your brother's injury, but mayb try         ACE bandage after swelling has gone down slightly and it isn't as painful to touch

Elevation- try proping it on a pillow next to u or an armrest  if sitting in a chair

My last suggestion is try to take an anti-inflamitory such as Ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Alieve)

/if his hand is still bugging him after 48 hrs, schedule an appointment with your doctor or, preferably, an orthopedic in your area

Answer 3

go to the emergency room RIGHT NOW!
