Hi.. Thanks for contacting practo for health query. I am Dr.Shanmugavadivu a senior physician answering your question. You had fasting for 9 days and you have swelling of feet and hands,now gums too. Except for the fasting history... how is Your diet pattern like ? If you fast frequently, may be it is hypo proteinaemia or low protein in body. If pain associated with swelling it could be connective tissue problem. Take nourishing protein and fruits rich diet .Maintain a good oral hygiene.Restrict your salt and water intake.Dip your legs and hand in lukewarm water twice a day. Meet a doctor in person if swelling not getting better. Take care.
