What Causes Swelling In Hands?
My son woke up about three days ago and his left habf was really swollen and warm to the touch. I noticed there a small bite in the middle of the part that was mostly swollen. The swelling has gone down but now the spot is hard and still a little red and now hows a small purplish ring around the spot. What could have bitten him?

It could be insect bite followed by secondary infection leading to cellulitis.In such case you need examinination and a course of antibiotics prescribed by your pediatrician.For pain and swelling you can give paracetamol.
