Leg swelling
My mom age 56 has leg swelling from 2 days. She doesn't remember any injury or sprain. Only in left leg ( it's kinda soft swelling and pains on pressing) . 4 days ago she also had burning sensation in feet but it resolved automatically.
She's not diabetic and has no co conditions.
How much time should I wait before taking
her to a doctor ?
Any suggestions to what it might be
