HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The correct term is Angioedema, the diagnosis should be perfect, with no mistake, the classification is matter in case of angioedema, for acute attack steroid is the only treatment along with the life saving drugs, because the angioedema attack becomes so severe some time that may be life threatening, take care, bye
