Swollen Eyes And Cheeks, Red, Burning In Eyelids. Had Same Problem Before. Taking Benadryl. Whom Should I Consult?
i woke up yesterday with swollen eyes @ cheeks. it almost looked like a bad sunburn. Today I a still red although not as bad and slightly swollen. At times my eyelids it and burn. i've been washing them with cool water and taking benadryl. This came out of nowhere. Several years ago I had same problem but with a rash on my neck also. a dermatologist told me it was hormonal (i'm 48). Any diagnosis? Who should I see for this - primary dr, dermatologist, eye doctor? thank you

Hello.By the symptoms that you have a possible diagnosis is Allergic reaction to any drug, any food...I treat my patients with Methylprednisolone 40 mg injected+Ebastine 10mg twice a day by mouth when Allergic reaction is the diagnosis.Please consult your local primary doctor for a prescription.
I wish you good health.
