What is a good home remedy for foot swelling and pain?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
RICE: The best home remedy for pain is rice - rest, ice, compression, and elevation. If this does not solve the issue in 2-3 days, you should be evaluated by a podiatrist.

Elevation of feet.: The cause of swelling and pain needs to be determined. The simplest thing to do is get off your feet and elevate them slightly above heart level.

Many possibilities: Some causes of swelling of the ankles can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
