face swelling

[gennisis]

My face looks like I have been in a fight,swollen all over....no pain at all.Have thought of what I have been eating...insect bites....But nothing seems to be at fault.

Any suggestions?

Definitely sounds like an allergic reaction to something then. As long as you don't have any breathing difficulties or other potentially dangerous symptoms you can try something like Benadryl to see if it reduces the swelling. But warning it may make you sleepy.

Agree, likely allergy to something you ate or (less likely) applied to your face. While antihistamines may help, you should try to figure out what did it as future exposures may lead to more severe reactions.

 

Sometimes medications you have long been on with no problem, you can later become allergic to, so would help to know what meds you take
