2. When edema and gross hematuria eliminate, blood pressure turn back to normal, patients can get out of bed do some minor activity.
3. After three months, if the ill child recovery is uneventful, with normal urine and blood sedimentation, he/she can get back to school but should avoid physical activities.
4. If the children keep in a stable condition of illness for six months, they can be allowed to resume normal activities.
For diet
1. In the early stage of acute glomerulonephritis, the sick child with edema, high blood pressure and oliguria should take no salt diet.
2. With the resolution of edema, the sick child can take low salt diet.
3. The water intake of ill child with edema and oliguria should be limited
