Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the filarial infection, when you used the cefalexin,it would have subsided, and there might have been recurance.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have a mid night smear testing for micro filaria. its presence indicates the filarial infection, but abscence doesn't exclude the possibility.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin,ornidazole, di ethyl carbamazipine citrate, and diclofenac sodium.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
