A member asked:

My mom's hand has swollen for a long time. this happens when she eats rice. doctors said that its because of the uric acid. what she has to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Sounds like she needs to be on some medicines to treat gout. Have her talk to her doctor if she is not on any. However; she could have other inflammatory joint conditions such as rheumatoid. If she has not seen a rheumatologist, she might want to consider seeing one.
