Brief Answer:
Investigations needed
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Either high blood pressure or kidney problems lead to such swelling.
I suggest you to get her investigated well with tests like renal function tests, liver function test and blood pressure measurements etc.
Do consult a XXXXXXX medicine specialist for the same.
