Missing Diagnosis: You might be suffering from a condition called chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives) and angioedema (swelling). If your symptoms have been persistent for >6 weeks with no identifiable trigger this could be the problem. This condition is not due to any medication or food triggers. This is a diagnosis of exclusion so see an Allergist in order to determine cause of symptoms and recommend treatment.
