A member asked:

I woke up with swollen hands and feet that were also itchy, what could be causing this?

9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Need more info...: Could be due to allergic reaction to something, including medication or something you ate. If you had some chronic medical problem, it could be related to it.

Allergic reaction?: This sounds like an allergic reaction that should be monitored. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may help but if it progresses, you should seek urgent care at an emergency room.
