Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankles, Red Dots On The Legs And Headache

Sunburn on Saturday, very tired after. Headache on Sunday with extreme leg pain. I have been sunburned before but never painful like this. Monday I started to have tiny red dots on my legs where sunburned. Now its Tuesday and my legs still hurt..I feel better otherwise but the leg pain and swollen ankles along with the dark red dots are worrying me. Assuming it s broken cappilaries? I m drinking a lot of water and having a lot of fruit!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For swollen ankles you need to reduce your salt intake in your daily diet. Swollen ankle & leg is indicative of either fluid retention in your body or anemia. Eat nutritious food and take iron and folic acid caps or tonic in your daily diet. You should visit ER & get CBC& Urinalysis done to get an estimate of your health status. Keep yourself well hydrated, maintain the electrolyte balance of your body to stop all other complications. Apply OTC, 1% Hydrocortisone cream, aloe vera moisturizer or coconut oil to reduce sunburns.

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