Answer 1

Ice is best.

Answer 2

The muscles in your hand need to relax.

Put some cream on it and Wear gloves, keep them warm.

Try not to use your hand, don't move it around much or don't carry things with it.

The more you hand and your body sweats the more it heals.

Sweating and staying away from AC's and cold rooms will heal your hand.

Try giving it a massage with your fingers.
