Should I use cold or hot to relieve?

I have pain on the top of my left hand. I didn't hit it anywhere and nothing outwardly has changed.

Hello ma'am, when did you first notice this?

Thanks for the feedback!
Applying cold such as ice in a wet towel for 10-15 minutes is recommended for new pain.
If it persists for more than 7 days without improvement or gets worse, or if the pain prevents you from functioning normally, I suggest seeing a doctor as a precaution.
I will remain available if you have any further questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
