Swelling in hand and feet
My wife has suddenly developed swelling in the feet and hands about a week back.
The swelling is increasing by the day and we feel it is spreading to other body parts also.
She has put on 3 kg weight in past 3 months.
Please advice possible causes of the same and steps to be taken to properly diagonise the cause.
Is this a state of emergency? Do I need to take any immediate steps?
Waiting for confirmation and advice.
