While a swollen foot may seem minor, there are signs that shouldn’t be ignored:
Swelling that appears suddenly and for no clear reason.
Severe pain or a feeling of heat in the area.
Very tight skin or changes in color.
Swelling that persists for several days.
Difficulty walking or putting weight on your foot.
These symptoms can indicate anything from venous thrombosis to infection, and in these cases, immediate medical attention is required.
