My son came in from playing and his hands were red hot and very swollen. i thought because it was cold outside but it's been like this for hours.

WATCHFUL WAITING....: Mild redness, swelling and warm feeling is ok, as long as the boy is not in pain. Just keep an eye. If too much swelling, pain or any worsening, check with his pediatrician tomorrow.
