Apart from surgery any exercise, fomentation etc would work?

Firstly, make sure you really have CTS and not just something else. Not all hand pain is CTS. Numbness is #1 on the list of sypmtoms.
-wear night wrist braces
-do frequent stretching of the forearm and wrist... with hand out like stopping traffic.. stretch fingers back and feel the pull.
-use nsaids like aleve or advil
-stop whatever you did to irritate it.

surgery is a good fix if you can not control it with the above.

good luck.

Physical Medicine

Contrast hydrotherapy—alternating hot- and cold-water applications—may offer relief from CTS symptoms. This approach decreases inflammation, offers pain relief, and enhances healing. Immerse your wrists fully in hot water for three minutes followed by one minute in cold water, and repeat three times. Do this two to three times daily.

Massage

Massage may help prevent or relieve symptoms, especially when rosemary and/or St. John's wort oil are used.
