dear sir I understand your concern.echo and ECG are normal so kindly rule out her kidney function.during infection also pts will have similar picture.if kidney function is good then Notting to worry about that.in urinary tract infection also similar swelling of face is observed in some individuals.albumin deficiency and anaemia also should be ruled out.....regards
