Suggest Remedy For Swollen Lips After Red Wine, Grape Derivative Consumption

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...for the last 2 years I've had periodic episodes with swollen lip syndrome.I've noticed they come always at night and last about 12 hours.I think I've narrowed it down to crab, red wine or a grape derivitive. What is strange is that it occurs 12 to 18 hours after I've consummed these items. No sure why. what can be done except total avoidance and is that all it is?

Hi,
If you have swollen lips after consumption of red wine or grapes derivatives since 2 years then it clearly indicates your allergy or sensitivity.
This allergy occurs after 12 to 18 hours then it is delayed type of hypersensitivity.
You can try this beverages with the use of straw by avoiding direct contact with the lips but I am not sure if its going to work or not because of delayed hypersensitivity but still I would say you can try it once.
The best way to cure allergy is definitely avoidance of allergen but there are good medicines available in market like steroids or antihistamines to combat allergy.
Thanks
