Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in right ankle after taking Zyrtec . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy , hypertension , vitamin B12 deficiency , kidney disease or venous insufficiency . There can be other problems also like arthritis and gout . The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of certain medicine .I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray along with blood test and nerve conduction test . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for cardiac problem or nephrologist for kidney problem .For now keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and keep your legs elevated while lying down . Lower your salt consumption .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
