Question
The baby is two years old and has had swelling in both lower limbs, eyes, and belly for a month. After a week of hospital treatment, the child didn’t take much of the oral medication prescribed upon discharge. Swelling started again that night after discharge. Now, the belly is very swollen and hard. What advice does the doctor have?
Answer
Based on the examination results, this condition is primarily caused by nephrotic syndrome. It is a serious condition, and it is recommended to go to the kidney department of the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. This situation requires timely hospitalization to avoid delaying treatment and affecting overall health. Please seek medical attention and undergo relevant examinations and treatments promptly.
