hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.
yellow skin indicates jaundice. should be properly investigated.
edema ( generalized) indicates heart or kidney failure.
definitely the signs and symptoms should be properly investigated and managed accordingly.
most cases are treatable.
wish him good and sound health.

Dr Tayyab Malik
