Edema in feet n legs
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
