My mom is a diabetic that takes plenty of medicine. One morning we noticed that her lips were swollen and one of her cheeks. She went to the hospital and they told her that one of the medicines that she took was reacting badly with the other medicines so they took her off of it. She is off the medication but things keep happening. he eye got swollen, but she took benedrly and it went down. Now her top lip is swollen. Please help i feel like i am going to lose her and i have already lost my father. We don t know what to do.

Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dear madam/sir
i can understand your concern
in my opinion your mom is suffering from some kind of allergy
this allergy might be food induced or induced by drugs or induced by environmental factors
In such cases its very important to identify the allergen and avoid it
Anti Allergy medications will give only temporary relief
Kindly check her renal parameters also
steroids can be considered in this cases with fairly good response but under guidance of a doctor only
try meeting a specialist in allergy and environmental medicine
