Hi there
Thanks for the query
You can soak your legs and feet in warm, water with added Epsom salt.
Do this once or twice a day. Keep the limbs elevated when at rest. Apply ice packs around the swelling areas.
Continue taking Clindamycin. Take Ibuprofen for 5 days if possible. This can reduce the inflammation.
I hope I have answered your query.
