Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to carpal tunnel syndrome .
Carpal tunnel syndrome irritates or compresses the median nerve causing swelling or inflammation.
This condition causes tingling and numbness in your fingers and hand.
You can use anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
Cold compresses may also relieve the symptoms.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
