Question : My feet gets swollen for days, without any change in diet, routine or physical activities. Swelling stays for couple of days and then goes off

Brief Answer:
Can be positional or high vitamin C in diet

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

This seems to be due to prolonged sitting with hanging of feet/prolonged standing, too much of lime juice or side effect of some medicine.

If the above are not true for you, then we need to run some basic blood tests like liver function test, kidney function test, serum electrolytes.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
