Swollen feet and ankles can be a result of edema, which along with red or purple spots on boy is a common symptom of excess alcohol intake.
- Avoid alcohol completely (or try to reduce the consumption gradually).
- Relax her feet on a small stool while sitting or 1 foot cushion while sleeping.


This will help to improve the blood circulation and reduce edema.
consult a specialist to treat the cause if the symptoms worsen.
