What Causes Swelling And Tightness In The Leg And Fever?
Hello, Since when you re suffering from?? Any altered skin color or any blebs on the skin? Possible causes are like cellulitis or filariasis or cardiac failure or anemia or renal failure etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done color doppler of the lower limb. Get it done hemoglobin status, ECG and serum electrolytes. Keep limb on elevated mode, use pain killer medication. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Penchila Prasad Kandikattu , Internal Medicine Specialist
