Hi,
I suggest giving her Tab. Furosemide and should check your physician and advisable to take CT Brain to rule out ICH (Intracranial hemorrhage) and I advise you not to stop coumadin as this may not improve Cerebral thrombosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
