Medications would help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your husband's symptoms. These could occur due to mild compression of a nerve at wrist level, the median nerve, a condition called as carpal tunnel syndrome.

As of now, he could benefit from medications such as pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.

If he does not improve in a week or two, he can be shown to a neurologist and a nerve conduction studies (NCS) may be done to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
