Patient's question:
A few days ago, my child's eyelid area developed a blister similar to a burn. Later, after the blister disappeared, it was found that the eyelid was swollen, and the swelling did not subside for several days.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is a non-suppurative inflammatory lesion of both kidneys. Due to damage to the glomeruli, symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and proteinuria may occur, making it the most common type of kidney disease. There are many types of nephritis, including acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, occult nephritis, allergic purpura nephritis, and lupus nephritis. It is recommended to first undergo a kidney biopsy for diagnosis and then receive symptomatic treatment.
