What Causes Sudden Inflammation In The Fingers And Soreness In The Throat?

Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2016

Question: Hi Doctor,

I have not given all the pictures of my fingers yesterday as I saw in the attachment. Can you please check the attached pictures again and suggest if there is any sign of clubbing.

Also Throat irritation is less today but is there . I have started to take levocetrizine for the same.

Also when I take deep breathe I am not feeling any pain but feeling something is full at one / multiple place in chest. Its some heaviness.

Brief Answer:
Possibility of Clubbing is very less.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through all the pictures.
Possibility of Clubbing is very less.
And Clubbing is chronic process. So don't think Clubbing as a cause for this sudden inflammation in fingers.
And its good that you are improving in soreness of throat. Continue with levocetrizine twice daily for 5 days.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
