Hi,
How is your mom?Are there other symptoms present? Swelling and burning may be caused by neurological issues, infection, inflammation, possible allergic reaction and even hypersensitivity reaction. Antihistamine medication usually help provide relief in allergic reactions.However, if the symptoms persist, it is best that you have her see a doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.

i would say see a doctor because i would say arthritis in the hands caused this from overactivity.. she would need an antinflamatory and maybe some sort of anti itch cream
