A member asked:

What is the best to treat my left swollen ankle and foot

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Proper treatment would require a better understanding of why it is swollen & an exam. Label could vary from a bug bite reaction to chronic non-union of an ankle fracture.You are welcome to start over & provide detail about a triggering event but this will likely require an exam & possible x-rays.
