Dandelion, parsley, or cherry stem tea can have a gentle diuretic effect, helping your body naturally release extra fluids.

Choose Comfortable Footwear

Avoid tight shoes or high heels that restrict circulation. Go for soft, breathable shoes that give your feet room to move. If swelling is frequent, consider going up half a size for added comfort.

When to See a Doctor

Call your healthcare provider if the swelling:

  • Lasts more than a few days
  • Comes with pain, redness, warmth, or fever
  • Affects only one foot or leg
  • Is accompanied by shortness of breath or chest pain

These could be signs of a more serious issue that needs medical attention.
