What Causes Abdominal Swelling While Recovering From Double Pneumonia?

detailed below
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
Since your husband has no symptoms at all and the blood tests show that the kidney function and liver function is normal ,there is nothing to worry about.
Most likely it is just due to weight gain.
If the cause was a pathological process ,he would have other symptoms for sure ,which would indicate the problem.
Possible causes of an increase of abdominal part ,apart weight gain ,is the accumulation of fluid due to a specific condition like liver failure or kidney failure (it is called ascites).This happens in the end stage of these conditions and this is not the case of your husband.
If you are very worried you can ask for an abdominal ultrasound.This would exclude any pathological cause and exclude the presence of liquid in his abdomen (peritoneal cavity).This will put your mind at rest.
In my opinion ,he has just gain weight and you have nothing to worry about.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
