Medications
If you are going to use medications, ensure it is under your doctor’s prescription. Your doctor will recommend drugs that will help increase blood flow to the hands and fingers. They include some drugs used to treat hypertension, such as
- Calcium channel blockers.
- Alpha blockers.
- Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
- Antibiotics may be given to treat skin sores caused by infections in the fingers or hands.
Surgery
This is usually the last treatment resort, it is considered when one’s condition is chronic and other treatments are not working. Surgery is done to block the nerves in the hands. Injections to block the nerves may be an alternative to surgery.
Surgery may also be done to remove damaged tissue. This is done if there’s damage in the hand tissue. In the most serious cases, gangrene (death of body tissue) may develop. This may require amputation (surgical removal) of part of the hand.
