Edema in feet n legs

2025-03-26 15:15:34
My mom aged 50 noticed edema in her feet n legs yesterday. What could be the reason? She was having cough n cold so she took medicines from chemist for 3 days ( probably steroids) She has history of leg pain due to knee issues- her blood tests ( CREATININE, CBC, LIPIDS, SUGAR) are perfect except for haemoglobin being 10.. She is a teacher so she stands for most of the day and has varicose veins

Standing job is the most important cause. Anemia is soo. Dip her legs in hot to warm water in evening or night 7 min. Put three pillow under her leg while in rest. Cap fesovit one at night after food for two months.  Stool color change during this. Folic acid 5mg two times a day after food for months. Lacilacton alternate days for five tablet in ten days remove swelling temporarily. It's a small acting diuretic. To be taken with breakfast,  effect remain for 4 hrs. It's a diuretic. Ask her to consume lot of water and liquid.

bilateral edema could be due to prolonged standing,other causes like varicose veins and water retention caused by possible steroids.Keep her legs elevated for a few days and observe.If not relieved repeat the blood tests and urine analysis.
