Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Swollen feet with distended abdomen can happen due to many causes. This can be related to fluid collection due to a liver disease or a heart problem. Increased salt intake or electrolyte disturbance can also cause such problems. The distended abdomen can be related to gas and indigestion also. This needs a proper evaluation and a few investigations to find the cause. The treatment will then depend on the cause.
I hope this answers your query.
