Investigations needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Either high blood pressure or kidney problems lead to such swelling.

I suggest you to get her investigated well with tests like renal function tests, liver function test and blood pressure measurements etc.

Do consult a XXXXXXX medicine specialist for the same.
