How can i treat elephantiasis..please replyy urgent!!!!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rapid Treatment: Doxycycline has been used successfully in the treatment of elephantiasis. There are other treatments depending on the life cycle of the parasite. This is a serious infectious disease and would best be cared for under the direct management of a tropical disease / infectious disease specialist.
