Is It Normal To Have Swelling And Dryness In Legs While Pregnant?

I am currently 7.5 weeks pregnant and on our honeymoon in Thailand. We were out jet skiing yesterday and my legs are now badly burned. Even though I had lots of sunscreen, it washed off. Anyway, my ankle and foot is swollen today, and feels very tight. I've another flight to catch tomorrow, approx 1.5 hours. Using loads of aftersuns and am drinking plenty of water. Is there anything else I should be doing?

You need to rule out infection I.e. cellulitus. Also a lower limb Doppler after a clinical examination.you could apply silverex ointment which could help the burns once the above conditions have been ruled out
