Swelling and throbbing hands are not common side effects of these medicines but they can definitely be side effects in your daughter. I would have her see the prescribing doctor and consider stopping one of the medicines to see if that one is the cause. Afterwards, he/she can reassess the swelling and throbbing. Thank you.
