Hi,

Only foot and hand swelling without any other body part swelling is less likely. If I would be your doctor, I would suggest you to relax and watch.

Now here, I can't judge about swelling without watching it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
