Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I’m 75 and noticed my left foot is swollen only the left one. I drink plenty of water daily. There’s no injury, no pain, no redness, and no insect bite. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
Good hydration is important, so keep that up. Since there’s no trauma, infection, or bite, we need to rule out other causes. A proper exam, blood tests (like kidney function), and possibly an ultrasound or Doppler scan are recommended to check circulation or other underlying issues.
Thanks
