Brief Answer:
Angioedema
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
From your description it seems like you are having angioedema. It is an allergic swelling of deeper skin. It can be caused by some food especially sea food, peanuts etc or some medicines like aspirin, ACE inhibitors etc. This is a condition which should be taken seriously as swelling of wind pipe can be associated with lip swelling and eye lid swelling which can cause breathing difficulty. So identifying the trigger is important to avoid further episodes.
Kindly consult a dermatologist for complete evaluation.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
