What Causes Swelling In The Throat And Lips?
my sister is in ICU following waking up and not being able to breath with her throat and lips swelling. 911 responded . CPR for 61 minutes. Currently on a ventilator and trying to bring her temp up out of the hypothermic medical coma. The Dr. theory is allergic reaction to lisinopril which she has been on for awhile. She also took spuratically Lorazapam - only when she needed it and we do not know if she took it sunday - the day she took ill. thoughts:?

its very hurting when we hear some one on ventilator support
yes it might be a immune response of the body that might lead to
laryngeal odema and lip swelling
if it is allergic response please be sure that it might be life taking
rest in ICU if vitals are getting stable
setting a good env. in ICU they r settle with heater to tackle hypothermia
circulation iv fluid should be enough warmed
give warm cloths
and maintain vitals
