Brief Answer:
Let hr take tylenol and Ibuprofen combination for pains!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain. Because she could carry on with the exercise, a dislocation or fracture is unlikely and this should be more of a soft tissue pain. I will recommend she puts the hand to rest, apply cold packs and take Tylenol and Ibuprofen to relief the pains. If the pain persists after doing these, then she should get an Xray when home for further evaluations. However, these measures will significantly reduce her pains.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
