Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history about your wife.
This is a typical history- hat her upper lip,bridge of nose and temple has been getting hard,swollen and numb feeling out of nowhere and then disappears in 3 or 4 hours later but this same event happens exactly the same way every 7 to 10 days.

Such a condition is called Angioneurotic edema like a fixed drug reaction (FDR) to some of the internal or external allergens.
Get her investigated and keep on the course of an antihistamine, oral steroid in tapering doses under the guidance and prescription of your Doctor.
