Dermatologist, Dr. Harshit Bhachech's Response

Hello,

As per your case history you are having angioedema. My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months.
2. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
3. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
