Dear Neeraj Ji,
Thank you for reaching out. Swelling in the feet and hands can result from various underlying causes, such as fluid retention, injury, infection, or medical conditions like arthritis or circulatory issues. Based on your symptoms, here's what we recommend:
Please share additional details, such as:
- When did the swelling start?
- Is it persistent or does it come and go?
- Do you experience pain, redness, or warmth in the swollen areas?
- Have you had any recent injuries, illnesses, or changes in your lifestyle?
Preliminary Suggestions:
- Elevate your hands and feet to reduce swelling.
- Avoid standing or sitting for prolonged periods.
- Limit salt intake and drink plenty of water.
- Apply a cold or warm compress, depending on comfort.
Diagnostic Advice:
- A thorough examination is crucial to identify the root cause. Blood tests, imaging (like X-rays or ultrasounds), or additional investigations may be required.
Treatment Plan:
- Depending on the diagnosis, the treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or further interventions.
Referral:
- If the condition is beyond primary management, we will connect you with a specialist, such as a rheumatologist, orthopedist, or a vascular specialist.
Follow-Up Guidance:
- Monitor for red-flag symptoms such as worsening swelling, severe pain, fever, or difficulty moving the affected areas.
