The organs are especially in the legs, swelling, the risk of skin infection in inflamed organs increases. Lymphatic systems cause swelling in the organs due to obstruction. In severe cases, filariasis can also cause fever, headache, and other health problems.

Deputy CMO Doctor Brijesh Shukla says that many times it has been seen that people give a big problem and feast on a big problem. Filaria is such a serious disease that if it is once from its entire outbreak, it will not be treated. Its biggest treatment is prevention and caution from it. Special campaign by the Health Department will be run from August 10 to August 28, in which the health department team will go door-to-door and inform people about the problem of filaria and distribute free medicine. People will be told about how to eat medicine by teams. Medication will be fed in front of you. There is no side effect of any kind of medicine, if someone has a little fever or some other problem after eating the medicine, then there is no need to panic, it may be that if a person has a parasite in his body, then this claim dies, which can cause a problem like a little fever. In such a situation, the team of our health department keeps an eye on it every moment and if there is any problem, they are immediately treated.
