Hello,

You may be suffering from deep vein thrombosis or cellulitis or renal or cardiac failure.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Please get it done color doppler of lower limb, complete blood picture, urine examination and ECG.

Elevate the limb, use tablet Chymoral Forte. If symptoms not improved 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.

Regards,
