What Does Swelling In The Hands And Feet Indicate?
I woke up this morning with swollen hands and feet. I can definitely tell they are swollen as they are visibly larger and they are tight when trying to bend them. I have tried Benadryl but it does not seem to be working. I am not allergic to any foods. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First you should exclude rheumatological pathologies such as rheumatoid arthritis. You need some blood tests and a detailed clinical examination to confirm/rule it out. Seeing a physician in person is mandatory.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
