When should you consult a doctor?
If the swelling is sudden or unexplained
If only one leg or hand is affected
If you experience pain, heat, or redness
If you have a history of heart, kidney, or liver problems
If the swelling persists despite rest
Good practices to adopt
Elevate your legs or hands regularly
Limit your salt intake and stay hydrated
Wear compression stockings if needed
Move around a little every hour
Apply cold to the painful areas
Your body is trying to tell you something: listen to it gently and attentively.
