Hello,
So firstly he should restrict his fluid intake like water, tea, coffee, milk to minimum. Also, salt intake should be minimized. His dose of diuretics like furosemide or torsemide, needs to be increased if bp is not low. This will take care of his swelling.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
