Hi.
As per your case history you are having angioedema, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors.
2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid, hydroxyzine, colchicine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
