I have sepsis what would be causing my foot and leg to swell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema and infection: Several things can cause leg swelling, including a blood clot in the vein (deep vein thrombosis) and infection spreading to the leg. You should get checked out right away, especially if you already have a diagnosis of bloodstream infection.
