Feet & Leg Swollen

My mum, 83 years old has swollen feet / leg. It's only the left leg. She is also a cancer patient, but so far doing well with target therapy treatment. I need to know which doctor to consult for her swollen feet

Answer:

Given your mother’s condition, we recommend starting with an internal medicine specialist to evaluate the cause of the swelling in her left leg, as it could be related to fluid retention, circulation issues, or other medical factors. If necessary, her oncologist may also need to assess any cancer-related complications, especially considering her ongoing target therapy treatment.
