Dr. Zhao Xinju
Swelling in both feet is a symptom of nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is generally treated with medications, the most common of which include furosemide tablets, prednisolone tablets, cyclophosphamide tablets, and cyclosporine soft capsules. However, medication should not be taken without medical supervision; it must be used strictly according to medical advice. During treatment, bed rest is recommended, along with dietary adjustments. It is not advisable to consume excessive amounts of high-salt or high-fat foods, but attention should be paid to maintaining a varied and balanced diet.
