- Maintain Hygiene: Wash and dry affected limbs daily to prevent infections.
- Reduce Swelling: Use compression bandages and elevate limbs to improve lymphatic drainage.
- Take Medications: Use prescribed antifilarial drugs (e.g., DEC, ivermectin) as directed.
- Prevent Mosquito Bites: Use nets, repellents, and protective clothing to avoid further infection.
- Regular Check-ups: Visit healthcare providers for ongoing monitoring and care.
