If anyone with more knowledge on this subject could help my poor 14 yr old son would be extatic!
I'll try to make it brief;
ds1 has always suffered from hayfever badly,itchy swollen red eyes,and occational asthma when he's had virus or throat infection in hayfever season.
last july he had a sore throat,next morning he woke with a swollen face.His top lip was huge and his bottom lip,nose and cheek one side were all swollen.its hard to explain how bad it was,he looked deformed.
1 doc said glandular fever,1 said allergic reaction to bacteria in throat.lasted 5 days.
has had 6 more episodes of varying degrees,1 just his eye ,all others same place but sometimes just his lip.was refered insept to derm who refered to allery pead who cant see him till april and doesn't do private,no-one in our area does.
the last attack was as bad as first and he is missing lots of school,so do I take him to London to see a spiecalist under ourhealthcare policy or wait? Im worried that if his throat swelled when Im not with him he would leave it too long to get help.
he eats a varied diet and we cant see any link to food.
sorry its so long,thanks.
