What is the reason for a swolen foot?


Posted by dissnoidette

The top of my foot is swolen and it is very painful. What is the reason and how do I treat it?

Hard to tell without seeing it.  Anything from bug bite, bad shoes, trauma (did you drop something on it?).  I'd say if it lasts more than a couple of days, becomes red, infected, and/or starts spreading out, or your ankle gets swollen too, go see your doctor.
