Dear Agi,

Burning and swelling hands usually means there is some inflammation going on.
A few inflammatory conditions which can occur in the hands are;

-rheumatoid arthritis
-osteoarthritis
-other rarer forms of arthritis
-infections of the hands/hand spaces

have you seen a doctor/orthopaedic surgeon?

while waiting to see a doctor you can take any of the NSAID painkillers

good luck
