Diuretic: Watch you salt/sodium intake. If your swelling is severe you may uber other problems like kidney issues. Follow up with your doctor.

Consume less salt: Or salty foods, that's your part, otherwise your doctor would decide whether to start you on a medication according to the findings after good history and physical examination, best wishes
