hi
Swelling of feet may be gravitational due to lack of muscle tone in old age bed ridden patients.There should be passive and active exercises of feet,toes and ankle and knees to mobilize muscles, do massage with olemessa oil after hot water fomentation.
best wishes

Hi thanks for the query
The swelling in the foot can be due to age, due badly managed hypertension, due to renal problems. If there are no associated medical conditions the swelling in the leg may be treated by elevation of the affected foot.
It is better you consult your physician for TB treatment.
