Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Swollen feet is not due to diabetes and also not due to ciprofloxacin.
2. It is due to effect of blood pressure on heart and occurs occasionally in patients with hypertension.
3. Limb elevation in lying down position above cardiac level with 2-3 pillow below legs overnight should reduce swelling. If necessary diuretics can also be taken for limb edema. Avoid in night to get peaceful sleep.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
