Causes of swollen fingers.
-
Hello, I am 29 years old male. Today morning I woke up with swollen fingers. For as long as I remember I didn’t meet with any type of accident or have any type of allergy. I think it will get better by the evening but my wife is worried, she thinks there might be some serious issue that needs to be resolved. Please let me know what factors can cause sudden swelling of the fingers.

@rachelle Hello, in some cases it can be resolved without any type of treatment but in some cases, treatment might be needed. Swollen fingers can be a sign of fluid retention or inflammation of the fingers. Swollen fingers could be caused by underlying medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and medication side effects. It could be caused by arthritis, exercise, high-salty food, and medication. You can try icing the affected area, and compressing the area with bandages, if it doesn’t get better then please contact medical professional Swelling of the fingers can be completely harmless and resolve on its own, or it can be a sign of a more serious medical condition, so medical consultation may be needed.
