Question : My daughter is 5 years 4 months old. From past 2 night we are observing swelling of eye brows when she wakes up from sleep. She is normal during the day, however her eye brows swell in the morning after she wakes up. Her weight is normal and she does not have any other health complaints. Please suggest.

Brief Answer:
Nephrotic syndrome needs to be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for uploading the images. Indeed there seems to be some swelling. You have also mentioned that the swelling is more in the morning (after waking up). I would insist you to get her urine tested for routine microscopy to rule out nephrotic syndrome as a possible cause. Upload the report thereafter. Based on the reports you might need to take her to a pediatrician for confirmatory purposes.
