Suggest Treatment For Allergic Reaction To Tomatoes

2 days ago i thought I had an allergic reaction to tomatoes in a salad. I am mildly allergic to tomatoes -they make my mouth itch and sting sometimes. Nothing serious. But this time the mouth pain got worse and my inside upper and lower lip and sides of my tongue became swollen, painful and developed red welts. I had trouble sleeping because of the mouth pain and now I feel very fatigued, I have a low fever 99.8 and tender swollen glands only neck. What can this be?

Hi i do care for your concern.
The history suggest hypersensitivity reaction to tomatoes.
The condition is called as angioedema.
Taking a shot of steroid such as dexa as soon as possible will relive the symptoms.
It is advisable to take anti histamine tablets for three days to get rid of symptoms completely.
The fever and swelling is also caused due to inflammation and will subside after treatment.
Hope i have answered your question, If you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
