Had Painful Leg With Swelling From Hip To Ankle. Cannot Bend Knee, Given Declofenic. In Pain. Suggest?

Hi
My 18 year old daughter has had a painful leg since Saturday with swelling from hip to ankle , she can't bend her knee and can't put any wait on it. When she first noticed the swelling she had been on her feet all evening as a waitress but has not banged it etc . She also noticed a blotchy rash on it (white circles with red dot ) but that disappeared after about 20mins. I went to the doctor and she has been given declofenic but the dr wasn't sure himself what was wrong. Se has had a bad cold / flu the previous week and also had a rash on her chest and arms but that only lasted a few hours . She is in a lot of pain . Any advice would be much appreciated thank you .

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be muscular pain, or may be due to some trauma, some blunt injury, you can just give her any NSAID, it will go away in couple of days, if does not go away then see the doctor, have nice day.
