The carpal tunnel is the narrow area formed by the bones and tissues in your wrist (palm side) protecting the median nerve that feeds touch sensors in your fingers and hand.

Repetitive movements, such as typing can irritate and cause swelling of the tissues in your wrist and result in increased pressure the nerve.Symptoms of carpal tunnel include numbness or tingling in your hand and fingers, pain in the wrist, palm or forearm, more intense pain in wrist and fingers at night, pain increase with use, trouble gripping objects such as a doorknob or steering wheel of a car, and weakness in your thumb.

You may not have this issue, it's just a suggestion. Since this pain has been here for a few days, you will need to see your doctor to know more.
