What Causes Angioedema and How Can You Stop It?

Angioedema is swelling beneath the skin, often caused by allergic reactions, medications (e.g., ACE inhibitors), infections, or hereditary factors. Triggers like foods, stress, or insect bites can provoke it. Symptoms include deep swelling in areas like the face, throat, or limbs. To stop it, identify and avoid triggers, use antihistamines for allergic reactions, or corticosteroids for severe cases. In emergencies, epinephrine may be needed. For recurrent cases, consult a doctor about medications like cephalexin wholesale for infection-related angioedema or preventive therapies. Long-term management involves allergy testing and lifestyle adjustments to minimize exposure to triggers.
