Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possible causes include carpal tunnel syndrome or vit B1 deficiency.
2. Give her vit B1 supplements. Its possibly dry beriberi. Vit B1 assay can be helpful.
3. For carpal tunnel syndrome, flexing the wrist to the possible extent for more than a minute should increase further numbness.
4. Electro diagnostic testing will also be helpful in confirmation. Meet your doctor for tests.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
