Hello,
Swelling is due to injury or edema. The term edema means swelling due to the accumulation of excess fluid. It is particularly common in the lower leg, ankles, and feet. But you should talk to a physician and ascertain the cause and find a solution. Do not have any self treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
