Hi, thank you for the question. If your father is having blood pressure and/or diabetes then change in the medication and low salt diet can help. If the swelling is due to long sitting then he has to stand and walk at regular intervals, also he should move the ankle up and down, in and out and rotation clockwise and anticlockwise 10-20times 4-5 times a day. Ask him to wear shoe that are broad or a sports shoe that can give shock absorption and cushioning. In the night or when he can rest, ask him to keep 2-3 pillow under heel and lie flat on the bed, so that the legs are above his chest or heart level, that will help in reducing swelling.
