I started wearing one of these while I'm working

Mueller wrist brace with splint
It only worked with a full-size keyboard and mouse. I can't wear it while typing on my laptop. I'll occasionally pop an Aleve in the morning if my forearm is bothering me.
Previously I was having occasional numbness and tingling in my right wrist. That has gone away.
Doc also suggested wearing a soft wrap on my wrist at night. Keep the area warm to promote healing, and keeps it in a relatively neutral position to prevent further inflammation.

I also have started lifting weights, though my doc said that could actually be putting further strain on the area. I think that was the case at first, but now I feel like my arms are strong, but more importantly my core and upper body and back are stronger. Helps with posture, and a lot of times the root of the wrist pain originates with other parts of you body being in a poor position all day. (skip the isolation exercises and just do compound exercises, especially deadlifts, probably the most underrated and unsexy, but its one of the best exercises)
Make sure your desk is low enough. It was subtle, but lowering it an inch put a lot less pressure on my forearms and less reaching.
And I drink a ton of water all day, which ensures I get up at least once an hour to pee or fill my water bottle. As others have said, taking breaks could be the most important.
