Is It Possible To Get Hives And Swollen Mouth Due To IUD?
Can I get hives and swollen mouth due to my iud? I've been experiencing this problem for about 8 months. I've been tested by my allergist and negative for foods. Some positive for seasonal allergies, but it's getting worse. Especially when I menstrate.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
I read your query and understood your concern.
It is entirely possible to have an allergic reaction to have an allergy to your IUD metal (mostly copper) . Talk to your physician about getting IUD removed if you have been experiencing such reactions only after the plantation of IUD.
Also get antibiotic treatment for worms in your gastric system as the sometimes also cause similar reaction.
Meanwhile take anti allergics like cetrizine / loratadine for immediate relief.
Hope I helped
