Question

I'm dealing with some persistent swelling in my feet and ankles that's been going on for over three months now. I'm currently on calaptin 240sr, aztor 10, and nexito forte. Should I be concerned about any side effects from these meds, or could something else be causing this swelling? Also, do you have any suggestions on what I should do next?
