Suggest Treatment For Recurring Swelling On Hands

For about 3 months I have had swelling in 1 hand. Then it goes away and moves to the other hand. It has do it to my feet the same way. My tongue has had swelling on 1 side then the other. Also my lip. I have been tested for lyme. My doctor put me on an antihistimene for 30 days.I have been off this for 3 days. This mourning my right hand was swelling a lot. It went away after 6 hours and know my left hand is swelling. Not knowing what is causing this is scary.
