Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling on the leg with watery discharge is likely to be due to an infection in the soft tissues of the leg. This needs a direct examination and proper oral antibiotics for treatment. You can keep the leg elevated on two pillows till then.
Do get your leg examined by your doctor and get proper treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
