Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in the foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time , taking estrogen , antidepressants or NSAIDs , infection , venous insufficiency , organ failure like heart , liver and kidney or lymphedema .
