Dear Mam ,If he has so much proteinuria , it's evident that he has low serum albumin (protein) levels , leading to swelling around eyes (peri-orbital edema).Steroids are also used for treatment of Nephrotic syndrome , they themself  can cause swelling over body.Taking Steroids can lower down the immunity , leading to various infections.I suppose , you should discuss in detail and send us the reports and you should consult a nephrologist.Wish your child a speedy recovery
