Hi,
Thanks for your query on XXXXXXX
From your description and the photograph enclosed I understand that your mother is suffering from Filariasis or also called Elephantiasis. Kindly confirm this as the treatment of Filariasis is not penicillin injection.
In the best interest of your mother it is advisable to review her case with your physician and then reconsider the medicines to be given to her.
Wishing your mother a pain free period ahead
