Swelling in the feet can be due to many causes. His heart, kidneys, lungs and liver should be checked. Even his state of nourishment should be checked. Sitting for long with legs haning down can also cause swelling feet. So get him tested thoroughly. Diet will depend on the test results. If all is well then he can have high protein diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and slight restriction on salt.
