If your hands swell while hiking, raise them. Hold onto your pack shoulder strap for awhile and see how that helps. Use hiking poles to keep your hands elevated a bit and keep the muscles active. This will help prevent swollen hands.

I thought this was actually a symptom of dehydration. Do you have some reference material to support this
