What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes And Fluid Retention On The Legs?
My daughter (age 21) has swollen lymph notes and had a lot of fluid in her legs and feet, went to the ER and they said it was strep or staf and gave her antibiotics, then she went to a doctor and he said it wasn t strep or staff, but didn t say what it was. Then she went back to ER and they ignored her. Im worried it could be lymphedemia?
