What should I do if the baby's eyes and feet are swollen

Patient's question:

Both feet are swollen, and it has been four or five days. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: No tests were conducted. The detailed examination results: No matter how much assistance was given: How can we make the baby's eyes and feet stop swelling?

Doctor's answer:

For several days if this situation persists, you should take your baby's morning urine to the hospital for a urinalysis. Be cautious of possible pediatric nephritis. 70%-80% of acute nephritis patients experience edema, with the eyelids being the earliest site of recurrence, especially noticeable when lying down to sleep in the morning. This is because eyelids have loose tissue and lying flat at night makes it easier for excess fluid to accumulate, causing swelling. Check if her nap posture is not good, in addition to whether she drinks too much water at night.
