My husband s right hand became suddenly swollen - there is a pain in his knuckle , like a bruise - but no obvious bruise there. It s been like this for 2 days. The back of his hand is warm and red.

hi welcome,
since warm and redness seen there will be definitely inflammatory changes over hand.
it may be due to
-an injury
- rheumatoid disorder
-any insect bite
-never apply hot fomentation now. if available take an opinion of a good ayurvedic doctor
if not possible write to me

hi
welcome to hcm
had he had a trauma to his hand
there is also a possibility if insect bite
warmth, swelling and redness are signs of inflammation
try icing over the area to reduce the swelling
simple analgesics can help
consult a doctor if it does not subside within a week

Hi,thanks for query.There is possibility of some insect bite or some undue pressure on it.Please give him analgesic like acetaminophen or any other which suits him.You can do ice application over the swollen part.In case if you can fine a bite mark,give anti allergic tablet also.In spite of all this if does not feel good then please take him to your doctor.Bye.
