My regular readers know I always give some interesting tips for helping certain diseases. Today’s post has similar tips about angioedema and idiopathic angioedema. However, never rely merely on this advice because they are not a permanent fix, they are simply to aid your treatment and reduce the pain or suffering caused by the disease.

The first thing to learn is that angioedema, also called Quincke edema, can be life threatening. Symptoms of angioedema include swelling, usually painless, on any part of the body, vomiting, abdominal pain without any obvious reason, cramps and hydration.

If you have any of these symptoms, do not waste a single minute in consulting a doctor. If the swelling is painful or scorching, cool down the affected area with an ice pack or cloth dipped in cold water. Expose the affected area to sunlight and fresh air. Avoid the allergens and triggering factors, if you are allergic to certain foods try a food elimination technique. It might be time consuming but can be very helpful.
