Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in the foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time, taking estrogen, antidepressants or NSAIDs, infection, venous insufficiency, organ failure like heart, liver and kidney or lymphedema. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper diagnosis once again. Doctor may order heart tests like ECG , physical examination, CT scan of foot and complete blood profile. Doctor may prescribe diuretic like crusade, antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you nephrologist in case of kidney problems. Keep your legs elevated while lying down lower your salt consumption and apply warm compresses. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
