Hi
Thanks for writing to us
Dolonex has piroxicam which can cause swelling because it can mess up the body's fluid control mechanism and maybe through an allergy as well. if his ultrasound of the kidneys is normal, you dont need to worry.
if the swelling persists, please see a cardiologist. We would need to rule out an issue with the heart as well
Hope that helps
regards
