What Is The Treatment For Child S Swollen Feet And Face?
My 14 year old daughter s feet started to swell last night. Now her feet and face are extremely swollen. She is just getting over a cold/ cough, but she doesn t feel bad other than being very tired. We are going to give her benadryl, but what else should we do?

hello dear
thanks for your query at chm,
i understand your concern.
Feet swelling associated with swelling of face indicate it might be due to organ failure like cardiac or renal problem.
My recommendation would be visit your pediatrician immediately and get investigated for cardiac and renal functions like 2d echo, renal function test to find out the cause and manage accordingly.
hope i answered your query .
