    hmmm it does sound like a reaction. I'd ask the pharmacist there may be something you can buy over the counter. You can also call them to save you the trip if you do have to see a dr.

    I would first be putting them in some cold water and put some sort of oil on them and get your rings off.
    Try an antihistamine or go to the chemist and see if the Pharmacist may be able to help , if that doesn't work, ring nurse on call or go to your emergency dept.

    I get this every now and then.. I have no idea what it is... my fingers/hand swell up randomly. Usually when I've been out all day shopping or something like that (I have no idea what relevance that is?) But yes, my family teases me about it because they think I'm bunging it on... lol it hurts! Running it under cold water helps, it eventually goes down for me. I've no idea what it is... may be a reaction?

    I've just realised I've been of no help whatsoever lol!

    I hope the swelling stops
