General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis.

I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication to reduce the swelling such as Naproxen.

If the symptoms continue you should consult a rheumatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
