Can Milk Intolerance Cause Red Swollen Hands And Itchy Red Feet?
My daughter just developed red swollen hands and itchy red feet. Could it be a reaction to milk? That s the only different food she s had. We usually give her almond milk, per our doctor to relieve constipation. If not, what could it be? There s no pain associated with it.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if milk intolerance cause red swollen hands and itchy red feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like high blood pressure , progesterone , fluid retention , hormone replacement therapy or low consumption of thiamine . Food allergy or food intolerance can also cause such symptoms . I would suggest you to keep your legs elevated while lying down , take anti histamine like benadryl twice a day and lower your salt consumption . If condition doesn't get well then consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like blood test , kidney and liver function test to rule out organ failure . Avoid taking milk for few days and consult gastroenterologist .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
