Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Swelling occurs because of local reaction of allergy. It takes 4-5 days to start resolving and in some cases it may prolong as well. I would suggest you to under go allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen and it will improve the problem.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
