Answers:
Sometimes swelling in the ankles and feet can be indicative of an underlying health problem such as diabetes or even congestive heart failure. You really need to take him to have a check up by a doctor to rule that out. If it is just extra fluid there are very inexpensive prescription medications the doctor can prescribe to aleviate the edema. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

You mean Edema.? Is your brother overweight.? It could be that he intakes too much salt. I would suggest he check the salt content before he eats anything. also, Obesity can be a factor...for that I suggest walking around the block before bed. I have a feeling that it could be his salt....tell him to check packaging when choosing food.Health Question & Answer

It's Edema. Now would be a good time to call a pharmacy. The pharmacist won't be real busy. They are SO smart, kind, and helpful.
A pharmacist will guide you.
Bless you and your brother. You deserve a star for being such a good brother. Very sweet. :)Health Question & Answer
