Hello
You didn't mention your age , as it is important in this case.
Since there is no fever i.e. no typhoid .
Swelling on the legs may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 Chronic renal failure , as this is most common cause . Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine examination as well as ultrasound of both kidneys.
2 Anemia , is the 2nd most common cause of such swelling . Get in blood for hemoglobin level examination .
3 Hypoproteinaemia is another most common cause . Get in blood for protein level.
Since you didn't mention complete history of illness , so very difficult to diagnose such case.
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion regarding this swelling on legs .
However , congestive cardiac failure is another reason of such symptoms.
