Hereditary angeoedemia . how can it be treated? benedryl and steroids do not work, antihistamines do not help. angeoedemia coupled w/ uticaria
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many options: There are currently several drugs in the market to treat this potentially deadly problem. Anabolic steroid had mostly been used for this disorder until the past few years. Consult an allergist ASAP since this disorder has nothing to do with histamine and thus antihistamine, steroid , and even epinephrine won't help. It can easily be treated nowadays. Make the appointment now.
