What can I take to reduce swelling in my face and feet?

Swollen face and feet may be caused by physiological edema, heart disease, liver disease and kidney disease. Depending on the cause, it can be treated by general treatment and medication. 1. General treatment (1) For physiological edema, no special treatment is needed. You can promote metabolism through more exercise to improve face and feet edema. (2) For disease-induced edema, pay attention to sodium intake in diet to avoid further aggravation of edema; avoid the use of drugs with strong nephrotoxicity to avoid further deterioration of renal function. 2. Drug treatment (1) Cardiogenic edema: if it is caused by cardiac diseases such as right heart failure, total heart failure, etc., then the main task is to actively correct the heart failure. Diuretics such as furosemide and spironolactone can be used to reduce cardiac preload and thus relieve edema. If necessary, cardiac drugs such as digoxin, cediran and other drugs; vasodilator drugs such as nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside and so on. (2) Hepatogenic edema: If it is caused by liver diseases such as cirrhosis, liver-protecting drugs such as glycyrrhizic acid preparation, bicyclic alcohol, etc.; diuretics such as spironolactone, hydrochlorothiazide, etc. can be used to reduce edema. (3) Nephrogenic edema: If it is caused by renal diseases such as chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, etc., diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide can be used to relieve edema. You can also use ACEI drugs such as captopril and enalapril to reduce urinary protein and lower blood pressure. Since the cause of face and feet edema is more complicated, so patients should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, improve the relevant examination, such as abdominal ultrasound, liver and kidney function, so as to clarify the cause of the disease. The above mentioned drugs should be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor.
