Suggest Treatment For Cut In Right Palm Near Wrist

my daughter now aged 16 plus had got a cut in per right hand palm near wrist when she was of about 5 years then doctor applied some balm and gave medicine but no stich was done . now she feels pain in her same hand upto elbow particularly when she comes in contact of water for long time say about 15-20 mints .doctor has prescribed capsule Nervee Plus 500 mg once a day.My question is -- whether the said medicine is ok and does it has any side effect as doctor says to take that medicine for 60 days?
or there is some other medicine you would like to suggest.
Multivitamin - not much side effects
Detailed Answer:
Hi....it seems the doctor had prescribed your daughter a multivitamin with s combination of B1, B6, B12.
The injury at 5 years is not related to present pain.
Coming to your queries -
1. The said medicine might give some symptomatic relief, but if there's no much relief within a couple of days... You need to see the physician again.
2. Not much of side effects as its only a multivitamin preparation, but if itching or other signs of allergy develop, you need to stop the medicine.
3. He has given it for 60 days because, vitamins need so much time to get replenished if they are deficient.
4. I cannot suggest any other medicine but if no relief as mentioned see a physician.

Could be Reynaud's phenomenon
Detailed Answer:
Hi....There is a medical condition called Raynaud's phenomenon. With Raynaud's, blood vessels of fingers and toes go into vasospasm when exposed to cold or stress, narrowing them and temporarily limiting blood supply and thereby causing pain.
Exposure to cold, such as putting your hands in cold water, taking something from a freezer or encountering cold air, is the most likely trigger.
Other conditions which could cause this are - Connective tissue diseases, primary disease of blood vessels, Carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive vibration and some drugs like - beta blockers, which are used to treat high blood pressure; migraine medications that contain ergotamine or sumatriptan, some over-the-counter cold medications.
I suggest you get back to your physician with this tip.
Coming to your queries -
1. Possible causes have been outlined above.
2. You can take the medication either once or twice a day... No harm.
3. No particular diet or restrictions.
4. Avoid being in contact with cold water or cold surfaces for prolonged time.
5. The primary condition as mentioned above should be found out and cured and that will control this phenomenon.
