chenchin: Guy, my son of 5 years had similar symptoms. We have done a lot of investigations and all prove abortive cos Doctors couldn't phantom a name attached to it. We were only told that my son protein is low that we should feed him more of protein foods. At some point his Penistone and scrotum started swelling. My sister who is a midwife told me if we continue going to the hospital, my son will not be administered drugs. And no treatment for him and she asked me to go Trado. To God be the glory, the trado(herbs) worked for him and he is now back to normal. Try herbs and u will have a swift resolution. pls where are you located ? 09080311560 |

This is definitely Nephrotic syndrome. He needs to visit a teaching hospital or any other specialist hospital. If treatment is initated early enough, he will go into remission within a month. |

I don't have strength going through comments to check if solution had been provided. I experienced this when I was in my secondary school day. It is called Hay fever. I was frequent bathing @ dirty river and doing fishing and catching crabs for fun. I was bitten by something in the Riverside. In fact the thing affected both me and my brother. The swelling moves from one location to another haphazardly. Solution: A lot of antibiotics will cure it gradually and not hastily as you want it. Beecham Ampiclox will do. Talk to your doc about Hay fever. |

Looks like hypothyroidism. Neck swelling may be due to goitre. Generalised body swelling secondary to myxoedema. His sleeping a lot also can be a symptom of hypothyroidism. Breathing difficulties can be secondary to the mass effect of the goitre compressing his trachea. Since it's refractory to treatment which from the pictures are essentially a cocktail for reducing edema secondary to reduced oncotic pressure, I am leaning heavily on another underlying cause. Is he constipated all the time, cold to touch, hoarse voice? I believe the summary of the above is to take him to a good federal/ tertiary hospital with many specialists that can put their heads together to come up with something and fast... 1 Like |

It's really unwise to come to a public forum to seek medical advice for several reasons - one being that most people on here are basically unqualified to offer medical advice. So, you're basically setting up a recipe for anxiety. There are several differentials in your brother's case, some potentially grave, others not so much. Paroxysmal Periorbital and airway edema in the absence of other systemic symptoms may be suggestive of Hereditary Angioedema, and if so, the Lisinopril tablet would just worsen the condition. Anasarca (whole body edema) could suggest liver or kidney disease, as heart disease most commonly causes dependent edema (from the legs upward). In the presence of lethargy (sleeping a lot) and absence of signs of liver failure (like Jaundice), I'll lean towards a kidney disorder - nephrotic syndrome. Bear in mind that Nephrotic syndrome is not a diagnosis, there are several etiologies, some relatively benign, others potentially catastrophic - a nephrologist would know best how to diagnose the existing disorder. However, I'll reiterate that it is extremely difficult to make a diagnosis over a public forum without proper physical examination and history (history is so important because a single story from you could totally change the diagnostic workup). Contrary to what most people here are asking you to do, I'll advice you guys visit a good general practitioner first, who'll examine then refer you guys to the appropriate specialist. Primary care is important. Good luck! 3 Likes 1 Share |

peacettw: How do you explain the early morning facial puffiness & periorbital edema after taking a nap with that myxedema stuff. I feel it's Nephrotic syndrome. It can also present with respiratory embarrassement esp with accumulation of fluid in the chest. |

Nigerians suffer a lot while the headless vampires they call leaders are dragging presidency between North and South. It shall not be well with the politicians and all that have turned Nigerians into the worst place on earth to be born. Don't panic bro. Proper diagnosis and treatment is key. Don't forget to back it up with prayers. God is still in the business of healing people. 2 Likes 1 Share |
