Angio edema treatment is difficult, yet there are remedies for this condition. Certain drugs, such as antihistamines, cinnarazine, and some therapies, such as Chinese acupuncture are frequently used to treat this condition.

Hereditary Angio edema

If you have a history of angioedema in your family, you need a proper hereditary angioedema treatment, even if you do not have any obvious symptoms. It is quite possible that symptoms may appear at a later stage of life. The earlier the diagnosis, the better chance of recovery.

Hereditary angio edema is passed down through families and is caused by the deficiency of C1 inhibitors (C1 INH). The main purpose of C1 inhibitors is to control the clotting of blood. Individuals with a history of angioedema in their family must be extra careful and try to avoid the allergens, offending stimuli, and drugs that can cause angioedema.

Symptoms of hereditary angioedema include swelling in certain areas, such as the lips, throat, eyes, hands, and feet, etc, abdominal pain without any obvious cause, vomiting, and cramping in the belly. Urticaria (hives) can also erupt with the outbreak of angio edema.

Angio Neurotic edema

Angio edema was also called angio neurotic edema in the past because it was believed that the neuro system had something to do with the outbreak of angioedema. However, this term is obsolete now, as  recent studies have revealed that there is no direct correlation between angioedema and the neuro system.
