Specializes in Internal Medicine

First Diagnosis: Your mom need to be worked up by her md for the cause(s) of her body swelling. There are several reasons which include kidney diseases(e.G daibetic nephropathy etc ), heart disease, liver disease or other reasons. After the diagnosis, the remedies will be focussed on treating the underlying problem and symtoms.
