Sanjay, you had filariasis ,but not now. Now what you have is swollen leg which is the after ramnant of filariasis. If you do not have any problem with affected leg, nothing to do. But if you have some complaint, you consult surgeon, to reduce the swelling. Your disease is inactive, so do not worry.
