This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.

No medicine can cure a ganglion.
You can still take Enzomac , Apply hot water compression and local massage.
If the ganglion size is increasing, or causing pain or difficulty in movement of affected wrist, then it is better if you opt for percutaneous or USG guided needle decompression and intralesional depopred injection.
