Swelling in feet
Hi doctors,
I suddenly got some swelling in my left feet near the ankle area. I don't think if any inseft bit me around that area also I don't feel any pain on that area.
From last 2 3 days I was sleeping with a wearing a tight knee cap.
Do I need to consult with any specialist? If yes what specialist should I consult with?

You certainly need an examination by a General Physician in your area. Tele-consultation may not be sufficient.
Proper history taking, your other diseases, your medication ; every thing has to be looked into.

Hello,
Unless it is advised to be kept overnight by your orthopaedic surgeon, any knee caps, elastic bandages etc, that are worn for joint stability during movement, have to be removed during night time.
Next Steps
Elevate your foot while sleeping and watch till tomorrow. If swelling doesn’t reduce, please consult.
