Will Aspirin Be Effective In Relieving Inflamed Swelling Of The Foot?
I had a sudden swelling of the top of my right foot, burning sensation and seemed like I had a injury to the top of my foot. some relief with ice packs. Still have some swelling and burning in the area . It has been 8 or nine days, getting more relief but cannot tolerate snug socks or shoes. I m thinking thrombosis? Will taking asprin help?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to thrombophlebitis.
An ultrasound of the leg is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
I also recommend doing INR level, coagulation and hemorrhage time.
Aspirin has anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties, so it can be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
