Hello Dear. You might be having a condition called carpel tunnel syndrome. Mild symptoms usually can be treated with home care. You can:

1. Stop activities that cause numbness and pain. Rest your wrist longer between activities.

2. Ice your wrist for 10 to 15 minutes 1 or 2 times an hour.

3. Try taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain and reduce swelling.

4. Wear a wrist splint at night. This takes pressure off your median nerve.

The sooner you start treatment, the better your chances of stopping symptoms and preventing long-term damage to the nerve.

You also may need medicine for carpal tunnel syndrome or for a health problem that made you likely to get carpal tunnel syndrome.

Surgery is an option. But it's usually used only when symptoms are so bad that you can't work or do other things even after several weeks to months of other treatment.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
