How do you take care of a hyperextended elbow?

To care for a hyperextended elbow, initially apply the RICE method: rest the elbow, ice it to reduce swelling, compress with a bandage, and elevate the arm. Avoid using the elbow for activities that cause pain, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers for discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment options. Gradual rehabilitation exercises may be recommended once the acute pain subsides.
