Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
I understand your concern. There are many causes for oedema of legs. Some of them are, Cardiac causes/Liver causes/Renal causes/local diseases. So, your husband is already on medications to decrease oedema. Please consult your doctor again for further management after examination. All the best.
