He needs to be checked for fluid retention and cirrhosis. Fluid retention ascites is a common issue with advanced hep c. The big thing, elevate, avoid salt and get checked. You can develop sepsis!
Hi, is he still on the Bactrim? If he has finished the Bactrim and is having swelling, I would get him checked out. I guess if it was me, to be on the safe side, I would go back to the doctor either way.
Good luck
