I'm really worried because my dad's been having swelling in his face and legs ever since he recovered from COVID, and it's been going on for over a month now. During his treatment, he had to be given oxygen. The weird thing is, he isn't feeling any pain or anything else unusual in those areas. Could this be related to his COVID recovery, or might it be something different? What should we do next?
