Angioedema, characterized by rapid swelling of the skin or mucous membranes, can result from allergic reactions. To manage it, first identify and avoid triggers like foods, medications (e.g., cephalexin capsules), or environmental factors. For mild cases, antihistamines can reduce swelling and itching. In severe cases, such as airway involvement, seek emergency medical care immediately epinephrine may be required. Corticosteroids or other prescription medications can help control inflammation. Keep an epinephrine auto-injector if prescribed, and monitor symptoms closely. Consult an allergist for testing and a personalized management plan to prevent future episodes and ensure prompt treatment.
