I am suffering from left foot swelling caused due to filariasis for about 25 years. Is there any permanent cure for filaria? I am 55.

Hi There are both medical and surgical treatment options. Medicines include albendazole-ivermectin combination. Localised surgeries can be carried out by a general surgeon.
