How To Heal Allergy Symptoms Like Swelling After Consuming Certain Foods?

sometimes after I eat certain foods, the skin around my knuckles in the middle of my fingers (all of them) swell up...not the bones themselves but the skin...it is painful to move them due to the skin being so tight and swollen. Please help as I can't find any answers....thanks.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some food allergy giving rise this problem.
Try to find out the food likely to give allergy and avoid taking that food.
By trial and error you will find the food cause allergy reaction.
Take anti-histamine like Cetrizine or Benadryl as and when required.
Ok and take care.
