General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hi, in your query its my opinion its may be a hereditary angioedema.
Hereditary angioedema is a rare inherited (genetic) form of the condition. It's related to low levels or abnormal functioning of certain blood proteins (C1 inhibitors) that play a role in regulating how your immune system function.you must go to the lab test for allergens, and trigger agents, like Puncture, prick or scratch (percutaneous) test, Intradermal (intracutaneous) test.
severe attack of hives or angioedema, you may need a trip to the emergency room and an emergency injection of adrenaline (epinephrine). If you have had a serious attack or your attacks recur, despite treatment, your doctor may prescribe — and instruct you how to use — adrenaline to carry with you for use in emergency situations.
