Ankles, feet and fingers often swell a little in pregnancy as your body is holding more water than usual.

Hi lybrate user ,this might be due to growing pain , Many children have pains in their legs without any obvious cause and these are often called growing pains. Even though the child can be in a lot of pain, no damage is happening to the child's bones or muscles, and growing pains can respond to simple treatments like physiotherapy .

The rice method
rice stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
Rest. Avoid putting weight on the painful knee.
Ice. Use cold packs for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Do not apply ice directly on skin.
Compression. To prevent additional swelling, lightly wrap the knee in an elastic bandage, leaving a hole in the area of the kneecap. Make sure that the bandage fits snugly and does not cause additional pain.
