My 92 year old grandfather (with alzheimers) has had a cold for about 4 to 5 days. Hes better just a little green dried stuff around the eyes in the mornings. When he had the cold he had a fever for about 2 days. He seems better however he is swollen on the left side of his face, his left arm to his hand and his left leg. He has not fallen so I was wondering if this has to do with the cold.
