What can i do about swollen knuckles from punching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Punching what: If you punched something hard did you break anything? Might need an examination and possible x-ray. If a soft puching bag take some tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen, the swelling and inflammation should be gone by morning.
