Red Swelling on hand

2022-08-05 04:14:50
My mother has Osteoarthritis. 3 days ago one of her fingers of her right hand started paining. She gave hot treatment to that place but it didn't do anything. So, then we thought of giving ice treatment in that area. But it has caused more swelling. Can you please guide me how to treat it? and if it is dangerous?

Osteoarthritis is not related to the issue in question . Would like to know a few more details in history for proper assessment , before providing an appropriate opinion & further plan of action . Meanwhile you can give her a dose of Tab DOLO 650mg . Please consult on Practo for the same as per your convenience.
