Patient: Hi Dr., I am father of patient (10 yrs old baby), she has swelling on right leg and we treating this for last 2-3 years with different doctors and done approximately all tests related to this, but still her leg has swelling same as before. Now we would like to consult a General Surgeon, preferable in palakkad. Pls advise Doctor: Hello,I have studied your case. I think it can be a lymphedema or a collection of fluid in the leg. This can be present since birth or it can develop later on. So I would recommend you to meet general surgeon as soon as possible and do needful.   It is a difficult issue to tackle and may need surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.thanks
