A member asked:
I was prescribed antibiotics for my pitting edema but my prescription ran out and my leg is getting worse can i please get a refill or a new prescription?

Exam needed: While swelling or edema is seen may times with infections, there are many other causes for swelling. In your case it does not sound that antibiotics helped. Best will be to seek help from your treating doc who has examined you already.
