How To Cure Swelling Of Legs And Ankles?

My daughter age 37 got swollen legs and ankles on Tuesday due to sun burn. Although swelling will go down overnight (but not totally) swelling comes back if she resumes normal activity like driving when legs are not elevated. She is being careful to stay hydrated and of course has not exposed areas to sun again. Any treatment to help swelling?

well, prevention is better than cure. kinldy understand, if there is a weakness in the lower limbs than it ll lead to swelling and prolong standing may lead to DVT. have a check with a specialist for the same using the diagnostic procedures. you can workout with small exercise of ankle toe movements in the mean time. kindly focus on working out properly on a daily basis which will help ease swelling and pain if any persisting now.
