Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Sorry to hear about his poor health. In fact, the symptoms you described may better be explained by his primary diseases, i.e. liver failure. It can give swelling of the abdomen and legs. On top of that, the renal failure is another big contributor. The injection given may have some adverse effects, especially flue like symptoms may occur with this but that s not serious and heals itself. I understand that the problem is more because of his own disease rather than the drug. However, you should talk to the doctor if the injection causes any problem. In the context of liver cirrhosis and renal failure, the outlook, unfortunately, doesn t look good if she is not a candidate for transplant. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
