There is no pain. There is no redness or sign of infection. Swelling is in entire hand including fingers. It doesn't affect the arm so limited to the hand. No apparent allergy. Person is in their 50s. I was thinking it could be liver or kidney but I think it would likely cause both hands to swell. Any ideas on what it could be and remedies.

Hi Prioris, The things I would first try would be dandelion root (capsules or tea) and drinking plenty of water (maybe with some apple cider vinegar in it.) Also, some light exercise if possible, or at least moving the hand around some.
I swelled up after one of my babies and the nurse said it was toxins and that I needed to drink a lot to flush it out. That seemed to work. (Oddly, I had an unmedicated birth, so I don't know what toxins she was referring to, unless she meant ones already in my system?)
Let us know what you find out!
