A member asked:

When can i expect allergy related face swelling to go down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

2-3 days: If the problem is indeed related to allergy (usually from food or drug) , it should subside within 2-3 days. However most cases of swelling are not related to food allergy.
