What Causes Periodic Swelling In The Palm Of Hands, Fingers And Tongue?
Why would I have periodic swelling in the palms of my hands, fingers, bottom of feet, tongue & lips? This has been going on for about 6 weeks now. I have not eaten anything differently nor have I changed soaps etc. The tongue swelled large enough to send me to the ER about 10 days ago. They gave me prednisone, Benadryl and pepcid by IV. I was on Prednisone for 5 days after and Benedryl. Since then I have had my lip swell and several fingers swell.
