Wear gloves: Raynaud's phenomenon/syndrome can be a painful condition. Avoiding noxious stimuli, especially exposure to cold, can help prevent attacks. There are some medications, especially calcium channel blockers, which can help prevent the vascular spasms which lead to symptoms.

Doctor can evaluate: Other than treating the underlying condition(s) causing raynaud's symptoms, avoiding emotional stress, keeping warm, not smoking, and avoiding caffeine, some medications can help. Nifedipine, diltiazem, losartan, and prazosin have been used in patients with raynaud's phenomenon, to block vasospasm and/or relax vessels so they can dilate to let more blood flow through them.
