A member asked:
Should i go to the er for a possible first occurrence of angioedema?

Yes: Especially if the swelling is in your mouth or airway. You should then follow up with an allergist to determine the cause and treatment options.

Facial swelling: If the swelling compromises your upper airways or causes significant abdominal symptoms such as vomiting or pain, then you should be seen in the er. Otherwise followup with an allergist is recommended.
