Hello Sheelu....
The causes of swelling feet are many like, DVT, medication, idiopathic, varicose veins, Renal insufficiency..
First we have to find out the cause and then we can suggest the appropriate treatment.

Medicine given blindly may give temporary or no relief and may cause more side effects...
Rest is your choice..
You can consult me online for proper guidance and treatment.

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin.
Heat therapy
heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.

Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone.

That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.
