Question
I’ve recently noticed that my thumb joint is a bit red and painful, and it has become obviously larger. Doctor, what should I do, and are there any medications that can treat it?
Answer
You are currently experiencing redness and swelling in your thumb joint, which may be caused by some joint inflammation. This condition is accompanied by pain and can be adjusted early on. In this case, it is recommended to rest, avoid exercise and joint strain, and perform some local physiotherapy and cold compresses. You can also use some anti-inflammatory painkillers. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
