A member asked:

How long should the swelling of my hand take to go down.i broke my thumb bone at the bottom they said it was a clean break on the 25 of this month.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

72 + hours: General inflammation usually peaks at 72+ hours and then slowly resolves. A broken thumb is significant, and it would not be at all unusual for the swelling to be noticeable for 2 weeks. Feel better soon.
