Health Condition
Swollen ankles (ankle oedema) can feel tight, heavy and uncomfortable. It may happen after long periods of standing or sitting, during travel, in pregnancy, after a minor knock or strain, or alongside circulation issues and other health conditions. Because there are several possible causes, it helps to notice when the swelling appears, whether it’s in one or both ankles, and how long it lasts.
This category page shows the products currently listed on WithAid for swollen ankles support. Alongside suitable pharmacy options, simple self-care can help with day-to-day comfort—gentle movement, ankle pumps, elevating your feet when resting, and avoiding long periods of inactivity. If swelling is sudden, getting worse, mainly affects one leg, or comes with severe pain, redness/warmth, chest pain or shortness of breath, seek urgent medical help.
Depending on the suspected cause, people often consider a mix of approaches:
Product currently listed in this category: Paroven 120 Capsules.
Swollen ankles can be linked to standing or sitting for long periods, heat, travel, pregnancy, minor injury, fluid retention, or circulation issues. Sometimes it may be associated with underlying health conditions, so the overall pattern matters.
Many people try elevating their feet, gentle movement (such as ankle circles or short walks), taking regular breaks from sitting or standing, staying hydrated, and wearing comfortable footwear. If swelling persists, worsens, or keeps returning, seek advice.
Speak to a pharmacist or GP if swelling is new, persistent, worsening, or recurring; if you have a long-term condition; or if you are considering an oral product and take other regular medicines.
Seek urgent medical help if swelling is sudden and one-sided, or comes with severe pain, redness or warmth, chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, or you feel very unwell. In an emergency, call 999 or attend A&E.
