Angioedema: Greetings, Angioedema needs further work up. First, are there any new medications? New foods? Any changes? A Possible allergy sensitivity could exist. A thorough blood evaluation is also needed. An Allergist, Immunologist or an ENT specialist could all perform this work up. An epipen (epinephrine) is a good idea since it is a recurring issue. Also he may benefit form taking a daily antihistamine like Allegra.
