Hi, You are 76 years, since 4 weeks your lips are swollen, lips, face and scalp are also itchy. you are douubting some food.
You had that food only once, so it may not be due to food, it could be due to due to cosmetics, soap, or imitation jewelary, etc.
I to my patients prescribe citrizine, and if the itching is more steroids like betamethasone, to be stopped by tapering the dose. And ast to track the allergen. Thank you.
