What Causes Swelling In The Ankles And Feet?
My Mom s lower calves/ankles and feet are swelling badly from her chemo treatments. They gave her a diuretic but is there any at home remedy we can do to help alleviate this? She is following a low salt diet and keeps them elevated every couple of hours.

Hello,
Diuretic is given every hours. All your treatment is related to the post-chemotherapy problem. for which problem you are on chemotherapy. What all investigation were done.
Before starting chemotherapy you were asked to be on a low salt diet this leads to treatment on hypertension.
The frequency of low salt diet is very fast which indicate the high of hypertension. Consult a physician to regularize hypertension and treat accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
