Hi,
The history you have provided is very limited. Swelling of hands and feet with pain, inflammation of stomach and intestinal mucosa. From this there is a possibility of an allergic reaction, assuming the 2 symptoms are interrelated. There can be other symptoms of itching , rashes etc. Regardless of what it is, since the symptoms are progressing, your friend does need to go back to the hospital. She can visit another hospital if she did not like how she was treated but her medical history would be more readily available with this one.
Hope this helps,
