Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency both affect the veins of the legs. The veins in the legs are equipped with one-way valves, which direct the flow of blood from the legs to the heart. If these valves malfunction, the blood may flow backwards. This blood may collect in small pools somewhere in the veins or the veins may become enlarged and swollen. This causes immense pain that makes it difficult to go about your everyday activities.

Hello,
Antibiotics will not be able to give any long time relief. As killing bacteria is not a solution.
Her immunity is low and it can give access to bacteria any time.
The treatment should be targeted to improve immunity and improve the varicose veins and blood circulation.
The best option is the homoeopathic treatment. You can consult me at Lybrate.
Till then give hamamelis 30 thrice.
And vipera 200 one dose.
