Hi, I am glad we connected. Thank you for sharing the image, i have had a look at it. I know it could be worrisome when it comes to our mothers, but there may not seem to be any connection between the dengue and the swelling of the hands and legs after such a long period of time. Yes, i can understand the issue about the joints. Also there are a couple of causes I have in mind considering her symptoms age and weight. There would be a few questions i want to ask you before i can diagnose and help you treat the root cause and also relieve her of the symptoms which indeed will relax your mind as well. If you would like to discuss this case in detail, you can click on the chat option and we can have a detailed discussion with the necessary medications required. Thank you.
