Child. Swelling In Body Due To Blood Transfusion. Histroy Of Constant Stomach Pain And Slimming Of A Leg And Hand. Help
I have a 9 years old boy with constant stomach pain from early age, as he grows up one of the leg and hand is becoming slimmer. Recently he was admitted to hospital where he was given transfusion of blood that has made his body(legs,hands,face and stomach) to swell up. He was transferred to another hospital where all the swelling disappeared in three weeks but unfortunately the the swelling is back again?

Hello
you didn't have mention the hemoglobin level of your child .and for what blood transfusion
has been given .
as i can understand the problem of the swelling is seems to be due to anemia.
it can also be due to hypoproteinemia
to rue out the possible causes you will have to go for diagnostic work up
and consult to a pediatrician
OK
Take care
