Body swells when in 80+ degree Fahrenheit weather.
Age: 65. Female. Height 5’5”. Weight 240 lbs. No Smoking. No alcohol.
Since my 30’s, (now 65) my right foot will swell when I’m in 80+ degree weather. After 50, the swelling is all over my body, especially feet. Nothing has worked to prevent the swelling.
On 6/28 saw my Dr. for sinus issue. He diagnosed it as non-recurrent maxillary sinusitis. He prescribed two meds:
1. Amox-Clav875, 125mg tablets, twice per day.
2. Levocetirizine, 5mg, once per day at night.
On the 2nd day, I noticed frequent urination and by the 3rd day, the swelling in my body was reduced by about 75%. My right foot is still swelling, but not as bad as usual at this time of the year.
Anyone know which of these meds is causing the reduction of fluid in my body?

One is for bacteria and the other is an antihistamine, but neither is indicated for swelling per se. It could even be something about using them in combination that is helping. Talk to your doctor.

Thank you. Yes, I will speak with him after I'm finished with the med's.
