Hello,

I do not understand why your doctor has advised you Celexa. Do you have Depression? Then, it is fine.
Celexa may cause sweating, which may also aggregate your problem of excessive sweating (May be mouth may also become dry). I think, it should be stopped. But do not stop it abruptly. Please seek the doctor advise before you stop.

Due to other problems, I may suggest you do some tests:
1. Kidney Function Test
2. Complete Blood Count
After the test result, I may suggest you take some diuretics or other medication.

Till then, you can do the following advice:
Rest: If your hand swelling is due to trauma or injury, resting and elevating the affected hand(s) can reduce the associated swelling and irritation.
Warm or cold compress: Applying a warm compress can help soothe redness and inflammation from an infectious process and can help warm hands exposed to prolonged cold temperature. Applying a cold compress or ice can reduce redness and irritation from inflammatory or irritating causes like exposure to allergens, irritants or heat.
Over-the-counter medications: NSAID pain-relievers like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), and aspirin can help reduce pain, swelling, and redness from injury, infection, or arthritis because they work by reducing inflammation in your body. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) can also help with pain and fever but is less likely to help with redness or swelling.
Fluid intake: If your hand swelling is due to an infectious cause, increasing your fluid intake is critical in order to stay hydrated and keep your body strong enough to fight the infection, especially if you also have a fever.

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

Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
