Question 1

I'm really worried about my daughter's health. She was born with just one kidney, and even though shes been sticking to strict diet and lifestyle changes, her creatinine levels are still going up. It's now at 2.3. Plus, she's dealing with high blood pressure. Currently, she's on Olmezest 40, Moxovas 0.3, and Folvite. What can we do to help manage her increasing creatinine levels and high BP? Looking for any advice or steps we can take.

Question 3

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?
