There are a few things you can do to reduce joint swelling in your knuckles. First, try icing the area for 10-15 minutes at a time. You can also take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen to help reduce inflammation. If the swelling is severe, you may need to see a doctor for corticosteroid injections or other treatment options.
