Red And Puffy Hands. Histroy Of Intake Of Antibiotics For Pneumonia, And On Addreall. Help

My hands and feel have been red and puffy for about a week. I was on antibiotics last week for pneumonia and I have been taking 30-40mg addreeal for the last year. This is a new symptom and I am not sure what's causing it. My blood pressure is normal - I've checked it 3 times a day for the last 3 days. The swelling does not stop. I've tried drinking more water, increasing my exercise, and taking salt virtually out of my diet. I think my face may be a little puffy too.

Hi,

You are having oedema and erythema on feet and hands.

you may be having itching , burning and pain.

I think,it may due to drugs, antibiotics or other.

You consult your physician and discuss about your complaints.

If needed , you consult dermatologist.

After real diagnosis, you may take treatment as suggested by him.

Anti histaminics, Steroids in tappering dose and changed antibiotic drug would be helpful.

I hope you got my answer.

Have faith , you will be alright... you do as I suggested.

Thanks.
