Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per details, the most likely possibility for your symptoms is a condition of skin called Acute urticaria with Angioedema. It is an allergic condition of skin characterised by itchy red raised lesions with swelling of eyes and lips.
It may be caused by allergy to recent infection, any food, seasonal change, drugs, pollen grains etc. In acute cases, recent infection is the most likely reason.
if you were my patient, I would have advised you combination of levocetrizine and montelukast for 2-3 weeks. Avoid contact with the suspected allergen. Fpr Angioedema, consideration is given to start oral steroids like Prednisolone for short duration.
You should visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription. You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps. Take care
