Question
My child’s feet swelled first, then the hands, and now the face is also swollen. What were the past treatments and outcomes? What kind of help do I hope to receive?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, this may be due to cardiac edema. Cardiac edema is commonly seen in cases of congestive heart failure or acute or chronic pericarditis. If the edema is caused by right heart failure, it usually appears first in the lower body. In addition to the symptoms of right heart failure such as jugular vein distension, liver enlargement, and increased venous pressure, severe cases may also present with pleural effusion and ascites. Treatment may include rest, sodium restriction, diuretics, and cardiac medications. Please note that the above content is formatted based on the information you provided.
