Help my right hand is swelling along the pinky side of wrist. i need to finish my paper. what to do?

Hand swelling: Best way to get swelling down in your hand is to elevate above your heart. Then you need to explain why it is swelling. Was there some activity that caused it to swell ? For now, keep it elevated and apply ice.
