Is There Any Remedy For Swollen Eyes And Lips With Puffy Face Due To Possible Allergens?

Hi, My daughter continues to have issues dealing with possible allergens. Her eye swells, face becomes puffy and most recently her lips have swollen (extremely large). These incidents happen in our home, visiting family and even at school (the last few times). I ve given her benedryl during these occurances, but it sometimes take more than a day or two for the swelling to subside.

Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Swelling over face, puffiness , swelling over eyes all are characteristic features of allergy but we can not rule out other disease as in school goer children , may be due to .
1 Nephrotic syndrome , diagnosis can be confirmed by urine examination , blood protein examination , ultrasound of both kidneys with adrenal gland . M R I also suggested.
2 Allergic dermatitis , diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for eiosinophils count as well clinical history of illness.
3 Urticaria , this is most common cause in children . Eiosinophils ( high level ) are most common reason . Also get in stool examination for any worm infestation . In few cases worm infestation develops such type of swelling over face with puffiness.
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as above mentioned.
Good luck.
