Hi,

Filaria is not curable but not treatable,means the damage done to the lymphatics and the swelling that is present is not reversible. Medicines can only kill the parasite present and prevent further exacerbation of the existing condition only.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
