Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Upper-arm And Hand

HI. Over the last few days I have gradually had swelling that started in my upper arm progressed to my forearm and them hand . Within a few days I was also having swelling on almost every part of the left side of body (hip, thight upper leg thigh, knee, calf and ankle, as well as my face - even my upper and lower gums, jaws and mandible are swollen. Each of these areas is accompanied by pain and discomfort, burning and tingling, numbness and overall weakness. I have also noticed other general symptoms such as weakness on the left side of my body, difficulty breathing (inhaling)) and palpitations. I initially thought I might have bitten by and insec because my dog had been bitten by something the morning the symptoms began. I ve taken Benadryl and anti-inflammatories but nothing has worked. My condition just seems to be gradually worsening. It s getting harder to use my left arm and I can t hold anything that that weighs over a few lbs without dropping it. My condition was a sudden onset but gradual worsening. Since the men s I ve tried aren t working could it still be an insect bite and it s jaffecting me differently because I have a suppressed immune system. I have Lyme Disease and Fibromyalgia and this condition does not seem to be related. To any of the symptoms I generally experience with those illnesses. Should I seek medical attention?
