Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Passing albumin in urine and periorbital oedema suggests that your son is suffering from post streptococcal glomerulo nephritis.
It is a kidney disease following streptococcal sore throat or skin infection.
Better consult pediatrician immediately to confirm the diagnosis and for proper treatment.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
