Being that a sprain is stretched or slight tears in the lagaments, you will have limited mobility with, in this case your wrist. You will likely see a fair to great deal of swelling in the area, so iceing the region is essential to help to limit the swelling, and alleviate some of the discomfort. The pain will be mederate to semi-severe. It might manifest as a throbbing sensation, or just plain achey. And the pain will intensify when you try to move the joint. So rest it, keep it iced and elevated. To be sure that is in fact only a sprain, you should have it x-rayed to rule out the possibility of a fracture.
