A member asked:
Swelling in my sons hand for 19 hours now, what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Injury: Injury is the most common cause. Other problems could be infection or reflex sympathetic dystrophy. For swelling of 19 hours, you should have it seen. If there is no fever, then it can wait until office hours.
