A member asked:

How come my hands and feet swell up during the summer or when the weather gets warmer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: Swelling like this can be mild fluid retention from salt excess, dietary changes, and if recurrent and mild, is harmless, especially if heart, kidney, lung and medicine side effects are ruled out.
