If medically everything is normal, swelling can be also due to age as they sit for longer time than usual at this age. Frequent chance is positions, pumping ankles and kicking legs every few minutes aswell as keeping legs in a table or pillows while sitting or sleeping will help tremendously If needed you can buy stockings​ to keep the swelling down
