Hello,

If you are saying its allergic condition. You should take him to the doctor as soon as possible. On the other hand, COPD patients should not take sedatives. May result in respiratory depression. Other causes must be ruled out. Right heart failure is a common cause. 2D echo is must as per his blood pressure and other vitals. Diuretics may be needed. Kidney functions should also be tested to rule out other cause of facial puffiness.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
