Ok, so I did some cooking today and now my hands are itchy, swollen, and to flatten my hand hurts my fingers. We did leaf raking a few weeks back, and by dinner my hands hurt so badly I could hardly stand it. Again, couldn t put my hand flat, itchy, burning, swollen. It gradually went away in a couple days. B What is causing this?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

According to history it seems to allergy by food allergy like presentation....

For that you might prescribed short course of steroid like betamethasone 0.5 mg for five days...

If fever is present than paracetamol can be prescribed...

Steroid will subside inflammation by its anti-inflammatory action

You can be investigated for allergy by allergy testing and according to food items causing allergy should be avoided...

Neurological examination also should be done for primary work up

Take care

Consult physician for examination

Hope your concern solved
