How to deal with leg and eye swelling in a 14-year-old girl?

Patient's question:

For several days, my legs and eyes have been swollen, and when pressed, they leave indentations. This morning, my face is also swollen. I would like to consult on what could be causing these symptoms and how to treat them.

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons for edema, such as heart failure, liver failure, endocrine diseases, malnutrition, and drug factors. If a careful examination does not reveal any obvious organic inflammation, there is no need for special treatment at the moment. Clinical diagnosis and close observation can be done periodically.
You can encourage your child to engage in more recreational activities and make friends, such as letting them play games with other children, to distract their attention. Parents should be patient and confident. Under no circumstances should corporal punishment or loud shouting be used. Gradually, things will improve.
