hi sir/madam, Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. You can often treat the symptoms of swelling that occurs on both sides of your body yourself, Here are some ideas that can help: 1. Compression socks:- Available at your local drug or grocery store, compression socks provide pain relief and prevent fluid collection in your legs, ankles and feet. 2. Elevation:- Prop your legs up on an ottoman to help decrease swelling. Various yoga poses, such as lying on the floor with your legs raised and pressed against the wall, can also help. 3. Exercise:- Sitting or standing in one place for too long can increase swelling. Move your knees, and flex and extend your ankles for relief. Consider swimming, as well, because it’s a non-weight-bearing exercise that can also soothe the skin. 4. Weight loss:- Losing weight can reduce swelling, as well as improve your health overall, 5. Epsom salt:- Soak your feet and ankles for 15 to 20 minutes in a cool bath filled with Epsom salt to relieve swelling-associated pain. If you have diabetic neuropathy in your feet, check the water with your hands first to avoid exposing your feet to extreme temperatures. 6. Magnesium supplements:- It’s possible that adding 200 to 400 mg of magnesium to your daily diet can help limit your water retention and pain. Talk to your doctor before taking the supplement, though, as you shouldn’t use it if you have a kidney or heart condition. You can make small changes to your everyday life to help reduce swelling:- Take a short walk every hour. Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily. Drinking less actually promotes swelling. Limit your salt intake. Put phone books or bricks under the foot of your bed to elevate your legs and feet at night. Little evidence exists to support using essential oils to reduce swelling. However, you can use peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and/or lavender and chamomile if you find them helpful. Hope i was helpful. Have a healthy day.
