What Causes Your Feet To Swell And Turn Red?

my right foot is really red, sometimes gets swollen and gets really hot and burning, I been doctoring for this since January and it only gets worse. now its even on the arch of my foot and one day last week my whole foot. the dr had prescribed for me potassium in jan, before that it was potassium glutamate, I have been on here reading and I am NSAID too, so I am wondering if i m getting too much potassium, I drink a drink that has 700mg potassium, a banana a day plus twice a day a potassium 595mg

Hello,

Consult a physician and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possibilities like DVT and cellulitis.

You can go for a vascular Doppler to make a diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
