No medications.

No smoking. Very seldom I will have a drink. However I did have one wine cooler before this happened.
Have not had blood tested.

Brief Answer:
May continue with limb elevation and Ibuprofen

Detailed Answer:
Hello
It’s good to see you again. Are you having wine cooler for the first time? As this may be a reason for sudden onset swelling.
Meanwhile, you may do limb elevation along with Ice fomentation, elastic bandage (crepe bandage) and take Ibuprofen.
If the problem persists or increases you may visit a nearby doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care
