I have been having swollen feet for the past 2 months. The swelling initially used to go down after a few days but has now stayed put for the past 3 weeks. The swollen areas are also hard to touch and darker than the surrounding skin.

Please what should I do?

Thanks. May God bless you and all yours.

It’s called Edema….

Reduce your salt intake, but please visit the hospital for proper medical evaluation.

They could be many underlying factors so you defo need to see a doctor!

In the meantime stay hydrated and walk around a lot!

Well that was what my doctor friend advised my late mum before we went to the hospital the following day and that seemed to had worked! Besides, I did say she should see her doctor firstly, why did you not quote that?

You should have stopped at the doctor part. I didn't need to quote it.

Check you kidneys

Please don't do this!!

Go to the hospital first, abeg.

Don't joke around with antibiotics when your body is clearly telling you that some htings are not well.

Better to seek doctor advice in the early stage will helps to avoid severe health issues in the future.

THIS IS A SIGN OF KIDNEY PROBLEMS. YOU BETTER GO TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. IF YOU ARE OLD, ITS PROBABLY KIDNEY ISSUES. CHECK IT OUT WITH A DOCTOR BEFORE IT AFFECTS YOUR EYESIGHT. IF LEFT UNTREATED, IT CAN LEAD TO GLAUCOMA.
