Suggest Treatment For Severe Angioedema
Question: Severe angioedema is going on. It started as hives on top of hands and face/ears/neck/chest area
Not too itchy but with bumps and redness. Took local antihistamine (creme) and over the counter pills.
It changed to angioedema during last night. Epipen? Anything that I can do instead visiting physician?
Thank you in advance.
