What Causes Swollen Face, Hands And Neck When Allergic To Certain Foods?
My boyfriend have food allergies. Recently, he is having a reaction to something we are not sure about. His face, hands, and neck are swelling out of control. He has been self treating his symptoms, but nothing is helping. A couple of days ago, he was having a hard time breathing and chest pains. Today, nothing is working! What should we do?
