Swollen Eyes, Ears And Lips Posted: 06-15-05 23:40pm
Hello!
What is causing my boyfriend to get an
allergic reaction to something that causes
the areas around his eyes to get swollen
and his ears and lips getting itchy red
bumps?
Thanks in advance!!

Is your boyfriend on any medication right
now?
The symptoms you have stated may be some
serious side effects of any drug. Do let
me know the name of the drug, if any he's
taking at present and then i'll be in a
position to answer you in a better way.

Well, I know that he started using an
antihistamine for it but before that, he
got a typhoid shot and a hepatitis a shot
(he's going to china and wanted to be
cautious). But he has gotten it twice
before. Once about the same time this
year and the second about a couple weeks
ago.
I thought that it was something he had
eaten, like fish, but he got it again
without eating any fish. I'm wondering
if it's something in the air because he
goes running in the morning around the
park where there are a lot of different
plants and pollen...
Also, after the itching, the area gets
really dry and starts to peel...
Do you know what this could be?
Thanks for responding!
