Angioedema From Last Nine Months On My Middle Of My Upper Lips.In This Situation What Should I Do ?
Angioedema from last Nine Months on my middle of my upper lip. Problem: I have been facing Angioedema from last Nine Months on my middle of my upper lip. From the beginning it was middle of my upper lip but now it’s spread to both lips. If that is food allergy , I can’t identify which types of food increase this type of allergy. Sometimes it’s reduced but not cure. It is worse in the morning when I wake up, and then gradually deflates. Though, at the end of the day it seems to look better but it again appears after I wake up in the morning. After a lot of treatment, it seems to get better but again it reappears. Sometimes, my back itches and allergies appear in the back. I sleep well. Dear Sir Can you please guide me • Which types of food increase this type of allergy, means which types of foods should avoid ? • In this situation what types of medicine I should take? • In this situation what should I do?

SEE YOUR PROBLEM IS RELATED WITH BLOOD+MAMSA DHATU+RAASA DHATU.The food which salty,highly sweet,acidic you must avoid.Firstly,your disease is kaphasmurshit vayu hence take navayas churna with honey early in the morning,before the meals.Avoid day time sleeping,avoid the said items,drink warm water in between your meals,aviod frequncy of intercourse if any.

Hi!Afzalur Rahman ,
Welocme to HealthcareMagic forum,
Usually vegetables which have small seeds with in them like brinjal,tomato can cause allergic reactions,but then even milk products ,canned foods can cause it.The only way you can reach a diagnosis is by allergic testing for all food items,pollens,contacts,drugs etc.Drugs are more common to cause angioedema.So keep a track of all the medicines you take.Its safe to take antihistaminics(like cetrizine and levocetrizine) for long in this case.Oral steroids can also be given it is sever and one has breathing difficulty.You can consult an allergic specialist also along with a dermatologist.
take care,
Dr.Chawda
