Leg swelling generally occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Common causes of leg swelling include idiopathic edema (swelling of unknown cause), overweight, is older, salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. Some tips that may help reduce swelling: 1.Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. 2.Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart. 3.Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling. 4.Wear support stockings (sold at most drugstores and medical supply stores). 5.When traveling, take breaks often to stand up and move around. 6.Avoid wearing tight clothing or garters around your thighs. 7.Lose weight if you need to.

Hi lybrate-user. Its simple to reduce swollen ankles and pain at home within just a week. Apply diclofenac to the area of pain and cover it for 10-15 mins, clean it with warm water following hot water fermentation. Take a hot water tub mix salt in it and ask her to keep the foot in water. This reduces pain and swelling. Do this for twice a day. If pain is severe give zerodol p tablet once a day for three days. Follow back if any. Thank you.
