Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was playing around with my friend and he bit my hand pretty hard between the top of the hand and the thumb and now my top side of my hand into the pinky and whole side of the thumb area are numb. There was no puncture wLund, it s just puffy and numb. What can I do to relieve this?
What i can see is that its a traumatic numbness ...it should resolve in a few days .... but in the meanwhile what you can do is that to releive the pain and numbness dip your hand in luke warm water for 5mins make sure its not too hit to give you burn wounds. If the numbess does not goes away in 3 days or so than you better consult your local gp. Hope you are satisfied
