Will sucralfate cause my ankles to swell?

No: This medication is not absorbed at all and should not cause any significant side effects other than constipation (or elevated blood sugars with the suspension).

Perhaps, but: That would not be a common side effect of that medication. Talk to your doctor and/or pharmacist about this.
