It seems your child is suffering from nephrotic syndrome... In this disease protein leaks through kidney and child becomes bloated.. For child mostly minimal change disease.. This disease most of time responds to steroids.. This disease is not curable but can be controlled with medication.. Need close monitoring and Treatment in long term basis..
