I'm experiencing some swelling in my feet and sometimes they really hurt, especially when I'm walking around. I'm pretty concerned about it and I'm not sure what might be causing these symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what I should do or look out for?

Swelling in the feet with pain during walking can be due to various reasons. One common cause is peripheral edema, which can be managed with over-the-counter diuretics like furosemide. Additionally, elevating your legs while sitting or lying down can help reduce swelling. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. You will require a thorough evaluation to rule out improbably causes.

I'm dealing with an issue where I've got a corn on my left foot, and it's filled with pus. It's not really painful, but there's pus coming out, and I'm worried it might get infected. This corn popped up in the same spot where I previously had one removed by a doctor. I'm really hoping to avoid another surgery. Could you recommend an ointment or something to help with the infection? Appreciate your advice.

Apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to the infected corn to help reduce the chance of a more serious infection.
