Hello,
Thank you for asking your question at healthcare magic
Onset of edema following a bladder infection definitely need medical attention as soon as possible, as the symptoms may be due to the spread of infection to kidney (pyelonephritis)
I'd recommend that your cousin need to be taken to the emergency room for further management.
