Have numbness in my hand ..told that its compressed nerve..what 's the treatment &what to avoid.

See details: It is most likely carpal tunnel syndrome. The initial therapy is just splinting the wrist at night. If that is not successful, local injection of the carpal tunnel is often very helpful. For resistant cases, a simple surgical release should cure it.
