What Causes Periodical Swelling Of Feet?

My grandson feet swells periodically and we don t know why. It started when he played baseball when he was younger. He is now 20 and we have gone to the hospital and tests were run and they found nothing but his feet is still swelling. What can cause this? What type of specialist do we need to see to get this diagnosed properly.
