I agree with the Doctor, if you have a primary doctor make an appointment.

Hi!
The commonest cause of swollen feet at your age could be severe anemia. Usually conditions of heart, kidney, liver or low protein or severe anemia, which cause ankle and feet swelling, cause both ankles and feet to swell. Hence you will need to get heart function assessed by ECHO and EKG, get kidney and liver function tests done and get a complete blood picture for anemia. Low sodium in blood, hypothyroidism and malabsorption syndromes causing low protein in blood have to be looked into. Do discuss this with your parents and doctor and get yourself examined as soon as can be arranged. It would be best to go the ER.  Take care!
