Yes it is bilateral, the right being much more swollen than the left leg. Also, he is experiencing a burning sensation. I have sent images to customer care.
Brief Answer:
please, what are his current medications!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This is not an infection as infections would rarely affect both legs at the same time.
Reviewing these images suggests a probable heart disease. I will like to know his current medications. In addition, he should raise the legs, avoid excess fluid and salt intake. Also, he should avoid standing up for long hours unless absolutely necessary.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
