Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Ankles
Hello! I ve had swollen ankles for the past few months which I ve blamed on weight gain. I m on vacation right now and returned to the hotel after a long day of walking and standing and my ankles and slightly above the ankles have a few red blotches on the insides of both legs. Does this sound like something I need to be worried about while I m on vacation?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
According to your description , swelling over your ankles seems to be inflammatory in nature.
I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Warm Regards.
