Hi my husband got swelling on his lips and cheeks... Some time on the left side some time on right side cheek some time on top lip or bottom lip.... It started from January... Never this happend before... He got swelling 4-5 times now... He s eating piriton everyday but when this happened he takes 3 times a day... He s going for allergy test... Is it ok to eat piriton everyday and when he s going to allergy test how many day before he has to stop? What do you think for his swelling....
Hello, I can understand your concern. It seems that what your husband is experiencing is an allergic reaction only so it is good that you have already decided to go for allergy test. The allergy test will test blood and the report will show what substances are acting as allergen for your husband, and he will have to stop exposure to them. I would like to caution you that the future allergic reactions might be higher in severity than the episodes he is experiencing now. In addition, if he is having an allergic reaction now, you can continue portion till the reaction subsides. Then you can discontinue the medicine for 48-72 hours and go for allergy test. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your husband feels better soon. Best,
