Depends on the cause: Some causes of swelling of the feet and legs 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.

Foot swelling: Do you have a reason the foot swells? If not then compression socks, might help.

Compression socks: These can be found at almost any good clothing store or home-medical supply store. High quality socks are made by thorlo - I have been wearing these exclusively for the past 20+ years. https://www.thorlo.com/.
