What Causes Swelling In Legs,throat Infection And Blocked Ears?
Hi I feel swelling of my body especially my knee and legs when I stand up for long from the last couple of days. I feel I also have a throat infection and ears seem to be blocked. What could be the reason? I did jogging on the tread mill for ten minutes but didnot feel any difference from before.
Hi. Thanks for your query. You have two different problems: 1. Throat infection and ears feel blocked. The reason for the blocked can be infection from the throat getting transmitted to the middle ears through the Eustachian tubes. I would advise you to take a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines under the guidance of your Doctor.
2. Swelling of your body especially knees and legs when you stand for a long time. The causes can be anemia, hypoproteinemia, general infection, kidney problems, locally varicose veins. I would suggest you to get the clinical evaluation and investigations for the causes already mentioned above and also a color doppler of hte lower limbs to see for varicose veins. Once the cause is found get it properly treated to get alright.
