Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain sudden swelling on the face and body along with itching seems to be due to allergic reaction to some unknown allergen and as you get exposed to it there is a bout of allergic reaction..
I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get a thorough evaluation done and he can advise you tests like RAST test, food challenge test, patch test etc to rule out the exact cause of allergen and then you can avoid exposure to that allergen so that allergic reaction will not occur..
In case if still you get exposed you can be take anti allergics like Fexofenadine [allegra] or benadryl for relief..
Allergist can also instil an immunotherapy that will reduce the severity and duration of the reaction and you will improve..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
