A member asked:
Is it possible for angioedema to last for several weeks? the right side of my upper lip swelled dramatically two weeks ago and is slightly puffy still. i am following up with an allergy test in 2weeks

See below: It is unusual to last that length of time. However; if you having rashes with the angioedema you may need a rheumatological workup as well.

Angioedema: It usually lasts for a few days, 2 weeks is a bit long. Not sure it is angioedema, anyhow it needs to be checked. It may be a good idea to see your dentist too.
