Brief Answer:
Nephrotic syndrome

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen the attached reports.
Based on your description and the reports it looks like nephrotic syndrome.
This is common at this age following a mild viral infection.
The albumin in urine will settle in a few weeks of treatment.
Your doctor has rightly prescribed the medicines.
Follow up with him as advised.
Avoid salty oily foods.
Give him good protein like ragi egg or chicken or pulses.
He should recover soon.

Weekly

You need to check urine every week till it becomes negative.
