Hello, how are you? Please know he is suffering from 'steriod moon face'. While the swelling in legs requires diuretic treatment. Kindly reach out for consultation.

Hi.these symptoms occurs because of steroids and could be due to hypotension (low bp). please keep checking her blood pressure and after gradually stopping steroids (tapering off)she will feel better.
