As there is pain and swelling, take it urgently serious and get Doppler studies of lower limbs first and if normal,you may require further investigations for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment

Most likely, this is cellulitis (skin infection) for which antibiotics will be required. In addition, slight leg elevation and NSAIDs will be helpful to reduce the swelling. Best approach will be to see a physician personally. Also, Doppler venous ultrasound should be done to rule out blood clot specially if you have traveled long distance recently.
I would like to see the patient in person. This may be acute cellulitis as i can see swelling with overlying redness. Detailed history and examination is required. Please get Blood sugar levels, serum uric acid , serum creatinine before you visit any doctor.
consult a medical specialist asap.
