[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. The swelling that you now have may be due to chronic filariasis. When lymphatic filariasis develops into chronic conditions it leads to lymphedema(tissue swelling) or elephantiasis(skin/tissue swelling)of limbs. Classically, treatment for Filariasis is Diethylcarbamazine. But since you have lymphedema, DEC treatment is not recommended for you since you may not be actively infected with filial parasite. So to prevent the lymphedema from getting worse you should visit a lymphedema therapist who can inform you about the basic principles of CAE such as hygiene, exercise and treatment of wounds. Bst of luck I am available for follow up questionsThanking you, Chat Doctor.
