Question
Why do my hands and feet swell after drinking alcohol for these two days? What is the cause? How should I relieve the swelling?
Answer
Hand and foot swelling may be an uncomfortable symptom caused by alcohol intolerance or other factors after drinking. It’s advisable not to worry too much, closely monitor the symptoms, and try localized massage to alleviate the swelling. If the symptoms do not improve, it’s recommended that you visit a hospital to avoid further exacerbation of the condition. Based on your description, I suggest you undergo a physical examination at the hospital, including blood cell analysis, liver and kidney function tests, and thyroid function tests, as well as an arterial and venous Doppler ultrasound examination of the limbs to rule out kidney disease or hypothyroidism as potential causes of limb edema.
