Elevation...: Above the level of your heart is probably the most important initial maneuver. Usually there is a reason for a swollen hand (e.g. Infection or injury.) if it does not improve with elevation, you should be evaluated by a doctor.

Treat the cause: Without knowing what is causing the swelling , the only advise is to keep the hand elevated higher than your heart. You should seek medical exam and advice to differentiate the cause of this condition.
