When a wrist ligament is stretched, is a cold compress better or a hot compress better?

 

I had an accident on an icy road a while ago.

I'm currently undergoing treatment for a stretched wrist ligament.

On the day of the accident, apply a cold compress

I kept applying it to my wrist area.

The doctor said

He said that I should continue to apply cold compresses for 2-3 days.

 

I think it's been about ten days now.

Should I continue to use cold compresses after this?

Or would a full steam bath help?

It's not a fracture, but

Using chopsticks or wringing out a wet towel

I feel pain when I do that kind of movement.

I have a feeling this will be a long time coming.
