Having Swollen Feet. On Antibiotics After Ultrasound. Fluid Draining From Leg. What's Wrong?
I have recently had swollen feet , one leg started to swell aswell. I went to hospital and they used ultra sound to rule out clotting. I was given 2 antibiotics and asked to keep my leg above my heart. 2 days after my head is congested. Is this related to elevating my feet? I can actually feel the fluid draining from my leg and can see the fairly rapid reduction in swelling while feet are elevated(while laying down)

If you are feeling headache or any think you can keep your feet slightly less elevated. i would also suggest you to consult your physcian about headache as it can be effect of clot moving in brain.(chances are very less but it is a possibility).Meanwhile continue following your daily routine.
