Swollen Hands and Feet? Here’s What It Could Mean—and When to Be Concerned

What Can You Do at Home?

If your swelling is mild and not related to a serious health issue, you can try:

• Elevating your legs or hands above heart level

• Reducing salt intake to prevent fluid retention

• Staying well hydrated

• Wearing compression socks or sleeves

• Moving regularly—avoid sitting or standing too long

• Using cold packs for inflammation-related swelling
