What Causes Swelling In Neck, Under Chin?
I, female 55yo, last 2 month have periodic swellings in my neck, under chin. No pain, no itching. Blood analysis showed high CPR of 5.3 and total IGE of 380. Antihistamine treatment helps to some extend by reducing swelling, but not fully. Rast analysis came clean. Any suggestions?

hi
you must visit an allergy clinic to find the cause and nature of allergy as your test do point allergic cause and some response to anti-histamine. You may observe which environment brings on or aggravates, which food is intolerable, dust or pollen atmosphere increases symptoms or not. At allergy clinic they inject antigens of known allergens and see for reactivity to determine cause of allergy.
Newer anti-allrgics and cortisones are helpful
thanks
