Well, a break could be one of two things, a fracture, or a break. A break would mean it is out of the skin, and a fracture is just a crack in the bone. A sprain is just a muscle over extension, there is usually just swelling and it will feel better in a few hours - days. The only way to 100% sure, is to get and X-ray. If you don't have the money or time, just ice it, and if it STILL feeling like its on fire, after a day, then there is a good chance it is broken.

Hope this helps!

How do you tell if your foot is sprained?

To Know if you have sprained your wrist, is, discoloration, swelling, and if you write that should hurt too. Now, to treat it, what you need to do is= ice for 15 to 20 minutes a day, wrap the hurt area of the wrist, and don't do physical activity unless you feel up for it. Swimming is fine because it doesn't use your wrist. And also this means missing Phys. Ed if you have to!

Go to your doctor. I just studied this, and it really depends on how you sprained it. For all we know you could have tore your tendon, or a ligament. That's my advice for you.:)
