Allergic edema can occur against the background various factors including food and blood transfusions. Doctors distinguish between several types of edema with allergies, each of which needs specialized treatment.

Medical indications

Allergy is an unpredictable phenomenon in which it develops skin rash. Before removing allergic swelling on the face, it is recommended to determine the causes of its occurrence. Then urgent relief of puffiness is required. This takes into account the fact rapid development reactions. If you don't provide urgent help the patient will die. Puffiness is characterized by different localization, such as:

• tissues of the throat and larynx;
• the area around the organs of vision and eyelids;
• lips;
• face;
• lower Airways.

Allergic edema is a condition in which fluid accumulates in the tissues. At the same time, it stops normal functioning organs. The phenomenon in question is considered a symptom of a diffuse or extensive disorder in the subcutaneous tissues or in the mucous membrane.

Allergic mucosal edema can be triggered by any irritant that has penetrated the body.

Most often it is a food product or medicine. Such a reaction should not be underestimated. Therefore, if symptoms of swelling appear, medical attention is required. Allergic swelling of the throat is considered dangerous state requiring the urgent presence of specialists.

The definition of the phenomenon under consideration implies that its main symptom is swelling. More often there are swelling under the eyes. The face, foot, hand may swell. In this case, there is no pain. Since the symptoms and treatment are interrelated, the fight against edematous conditions is carried out after studying the clinic and interviewing the patient.

The doctor examines the skin. With edema, it turns pale, and thickens to the touch. In other places of the epidermis, redness and itching appear. Allergic edema of the larynx can be determined by the following signs:

• breathing problems;
• increasing anxiety;
• the appearance of a "barking cough";
• hoarse voice;
• swollen face;
• fainting.

The symptoms of allergies, edema are directly affected by the individual tendency to react.

Pathogenetic factors

An allergic reaction develops against the background of the following 6 pathogenetic factors:

1. Hydrodynamic - edema is associated with intercapillary moisture exchange. If the pressure in the capillaries is higher than in the tissues, the fluid from the vessels will enter the tissue. In the venous this process is the opposite.
2. Membrane - pathogenetic factor has direct relationship to increased permeability of vascular and tissue membranes. If the permeability is high, fluid circulation is facilitated. Increased permeability is associated with histamine, characteristic of allergies.
3. Osmotic - swelling of the face with allergies is due to the accumulation of electrolytes between the tissues.
4. Oncotic - the pressure in the tissues increases. Fluid begins to accumulate in circulatory system. Against the background of pathogenesis, the level of protein in the blood decreases.
5. Lymphatic - allergic swelling of the face is associated with stagnation of the lymph.
6. Low blood pressure - observed in inflammation and disorders associated with damage to toxins. With such phenomena, the tissue becomes soft and loose. She is unable to hold liquid.

AT pure form such a pathogenesis of swelling of the throat with allergies is rare. Several factors are involved in the edematous process. To identify them, you need the help of a doctor. The condition in question can occur at any time of the day. In this case, the type of allergy does not play any role. Clinic depends on:

• from the cause of swelling;
• from the presence of a concomitant disease;
• on the type of allergen.

Often there is swelling of the face, nose, lips. Allergies can affect the entire body.

Swelling in the eyelid area is manifested by a change in skin color. At the same time, this phenomenon is observed around the eyes. The reason for this condition is a negative reaction to food or cosmetics. Swelling of the eyes with allergies is a severe manifestation of this type of conjunctivitis. Symptoms come on suddenly and develop quickly.

To primary manifestations include migraine and fatigue.

AT mild degree the eyelid swells, and in severe cases, the entire eye swells, while the palpebral fissure is completely closed. Before you remove the allergic swelling of the eyes, the degree of damage to the organ is determined. Puffiness can be unilateral or bilateral. In this case, it can spread to the cornea and subsequent parts of the eye, which negatively affects the pressure.

The reasons for this condition are taking medications (antibiotics, vitamins, medicines with iodine). Allergic swelling of the eyelids can be associated with an insect bite or non-compliance with the diet. In the first case, antihistamines are prescribed, and in the second, a diet. It is necessary to exclude citrus fruits, red fruits.

What is the period of exacerbation of the disease? more often comes to light in the spring and in the fall. To prevent the process from spreading to other organs, it is recommended to provide timely assistance. How to quickly remove allergic swelling from the eyes? The patient should take an antihistamine hormonal remedy. To quickly remove the allergen from the body, it is recommended to drink liquid. You can take the adsorbent. How to remove swelling? Recommended to do cold compress. It quickly removes not only swelling, but also redness. The clinic subsides after 2-3 days.

How to treat patients at risk? Such patients should carry antihistamines prescribed by a physician. More often helps to remove puffiness Suprastin, Rutin, Diazolin. The affected area can be treated with ointment or drops.

Nose and throat problems

Swelling of the nasal mucosa can occur at any time of the year. Seasonal manifestations are characterized by a more pronounced clinic. Inflammatory edema may be a reaction to the smell of perfume, flowers, tobacco, paint. Horizontally, allergic swelling of the nose increases, and with physical activity- decreases.

In this condition, the following clinic is observed:

• the appearance in the nasal passages of bluish-gray edema;
• the occurrence of water;
• mouth breathing;
• snore.

Inflammation negatively affects the sense of smell and taste preferences. What to do in such cases? It is necessary to “hide” the allergen by maintaining air indicators in the room. If the nose swells strongly, its cavity is moistened with a spray saline. Physical activity removes puffiness well.

Laryngeal edema with allergies is more often detected in a child with characteristic diathesis.

The main symptom is hoarseness. It is difficult for the child to breathe, the throat may hurt. This condition is easily determined: the lips are swollen, the mucous membrane of the mouth turns blue. Pre-medical measures that remove such a clinic: hands or feet are immersed in hot bath(water temperature +39…+40 °С). If there is swelling of the tongue, the oral cavity is irrigated with a 0.1% solution of epinephrine hydrochloride.

Additionally, an antihistamine is injected intramuscularly. The dosage depends on the age of the patient. If swelling is present, a dropper is placed. The patient is given a solution of prednisolone. Follow-up therapy is carried out with antihistamines and glucocorticoids. But in order to prevent re-edema, the causes of its occurrence are established. You need to do an allergen test.

Problems with other organs

Allergic swelling of the nasopharynx can lead to tobacco smoke, dust, humidity. In this case, the patient may complain of lacrimation. In this condition, it is necessary to exclude the influence of the allergen. The patient may be prescribed Zyrtec, Cetirizine, Erius.

With allergies, the face can swell. The process can be unilateral or symmetrical. The organs of vision swell more often, the lips swell. In such cases, the patient is recommended to undergo several tests. If swollen upper lip, the patient may have been bitten by an insect. But a similar phenomenon can occur after using lipstick. If the lips are swollen after the cream, it is recommended to abandon it. The therapy should be carried out under the strict supervision of a doctor so that the cheek and other parts of the face do not swell.

Allergic pulmonary edema is an increased influx of fluid into the lung tissue. At the same time, its reabsorption into the vascular bed is absent. It is difficult for a person to breathe. To common reasons Physicians attribute such a phenomenon to the bite of bees and wasps, taking medications, the presence of foreign proteins in the blood (in the process of plasma transfusion).

The condition begins abruptly, 5-10 seconds after the antigen enters the circulatory system.

Previously, the patient experiences tingling, itching of the skin of the face and hands. Then heaviness in the chest, pain in the heart, shortness of breath, difficult wheezing breathing are experienced. Later, moist rales in the lungs are disturbing, which quickly spread to their entire surface. Develops cyanosis, circulatory failure. The stomach may hurt, nausea can disturb. Epileptiform convulsions appear.

Therapeutic activities

With the above diagnosis, emergency help. The patient should take a sitting or semi-sitting position. Impose harnesses (cuffs) on the limbs. Do a hot foot bath. Bloodletting reduces venous return to the main organ. A defoamer is used to supply humidified oxygen.

If necessary, the patient is transferred to a ventilator. To delete foreign body tracheostomy is performed. The suppression of the activity of the respiratory organs consists in taking narcotic analgesic(Morphine). To reduce BCC, a diuretic (Furosemide) is taken.

If the above clinic is accompanied by the fact that the lip or the whole face is swollen, it is required A complex approach to therapy. In any case, it is necessary to reduce the load by introducing Nitroglycerin.

If indicated, the patient is prescribed:

• cardiac glycosides;
• colloidal solutions;
• hormonal and antihistamines;
• antiarrhythmic drugs.

If the doctors stopped the attack, then the treatment of the underlying disease begins.

Doctors' forecasts

Before removing swelling from the face, eyes, throat or lungs, full examination patient. It is recommended to take blood tests and reactions to some allergens. In order to carry out the diagnosis correctly, it is recommended to consult a doctor at the first symptoms of any edema. The doctor, having examined the nature of the reaction, will prescribe the appropriate therapy.

With any diagnosis, it will be necessary to eliminate contact with the cause of the disease. Minimization of its impact is allowed. If you stop contact with the allergen substance, then it will be possible to prevent a second attack.

• drink antihistamines;
• sensitize the body to the effects of a provocateur;
• follow the advice of doctors.

If you do not take into account the etiology, allergic edema of the larynx can have a very serious prognosis. After its elimination, there may be different consequences, and after relief of pulmonary edema, there may be various complications including ischemia, pneumonia. This phenomenon is considered dangerous and recurrent, therefore, it requires the elimination of the cause. The outcome of the disease is directly affected by early pathogenetic therapy. It must be carried out in the interstitial phase. All therapeutic manipulations should be provided only by a specialist of the proper profile (cardiologist, pulmonologist, nephrologist).

The above clinic is typical for both adults and children. The latter patients require more attention, especially if the victims are under 3 years of age. AT special group include the elderly and allergic patients. At the end of therapy, a second comprehensive examination sick. If necessary, instrumental techniques for allergies are used.

Allergy is the answer immune system organism to the pathogenic agent. An allergen can be any substance of animate or inanimate nature. Very often they are food products or medicines. The manifestations of allergies are different. It can be rhinitis, conjunctivitis, skin lesions, bronchospasm.

Clinical manifestations

The development of edema is also one of the manifestations of allergies. Most often they are localized in the face, dorsal surface hands, feet, scrotum. Edema of an allergic nature is painless, skin over the affected area are not changed, there is no local hyperthermia.

However, this state has its own characteristics. They are in stock accompanying signs such as rash on the body, itchy skin. There may be a deterioration in the general condition, the appearance of weakness, malaise. Exposure to an allergen quite often also leads to the development of shortness of breath, up to suffocation, nasal congestion, rhinitis.

Allergic swelling of the face is usually accompanied by swelling of the eyelids. More often it is an asymmetric lesion, with a predominance of swelling of the upper eyelid. In this case, the edema is very significant - such that the palpebral fissure narrows sharply.

The most common allergens leading to the development given symptom, are:

• food products (chocolate, seafood, strawberries, citrus fruits);
• fluff and wool of domestic animals and birds;
• drugs (antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local anesthetics);
• cosmetics;
• plant pollen.

Principles of treatment

by the most effective treatment allergic swelling of the face is the exclusion of the allergen.

In case if we are talking about a cosmetic product, a new food product or a medicine, it is not difficult to identify the allergen. It is enough to establish a causal relationship between the use of the product and the development of symptoms.

The condition may worsen while being outdoors. It is much more difficult to identify the allergen in such conditions, since we can talk about pollen. Since each plant is potentially dangerous in terms of development allergic reaction, then expert advice would be very appropriate. modern medicine offers wide range surveys that allow identification of a dangerous plant or other substance.

In cases where it is not possible to exclude the allergen, and the patient periodically notes the development of edema on the face due to an allergic reaction, the following drugs can be used:

• antihistamines;
• corticosteroid drugs;
• diuretics;
• sorbents.

Antihistamines are quite effective, quickly begin their action.

In the case of pronounced facial edema, dangerous for its complications for the organ of vision, diuretics are used.

effect from intramuscular application lasix develops within a few minutes, which allows it to be used when emergency conditions. Sorbents are more effective at food allergies. Their action comes much more slowly, so they can be used in complex treatment and with mild symptoms.

Quincke's edema is the most severe manifestation of allergic facial edema. This is acute condition, developing within a few minutes and manifested by a sharp swelling of the face or its individual parts (eyelids, lips), may be accompanied by a decrease blood pressure and development of shock. In addition to antihistamines and corticosteroids, treatment includes fluid therapy.

The occurrence of allergic edema is associated with the use of various kinds of allergens. Allergens can be both food and medications. The appearance of edema can begin on different parts of the body, but in most cases the face, eyes, throat, legs, arms and other parts are affected. If allergic edema appears, then it must be seriously reacted to, as this is a sign of a serious allergy.

• Eyes. There may often be swelling in upper eyelids eye. In most cases, the cause of such an allergy is exposure to plant pollen, milk, eggs, chocolate, etc. With the development of eye edema, first of all, it is necessary to identify and exclude the allergen. Then it is possible to treat allergic edema with allergy pills and ointments.
• Lips. Allergic swelling on the lips can be caused by food allergens or medications. In addition, cases of the development of allergies to insect bites or animal hair have been recorded. If allergic edema occurs on the lips, their treatment is reduced to identifying the allergen and using allergy pills.
• Nose. A common type of edema is swelling of the nose, which can occur when exposed to a certain allergen, seasonally, and also at any other time through chronic allergic reactions. Paint, smoke, perfume smells, air fresheners, etc. can act as allergens. copious discharge from the nose. In addition, it is possible to change the color of the skin in the nose area, from gray to blue. Such allergic edema is removed with the help of a special solution, which is used to wash the sinuses.

Its occurrence is due to an increase in the permeability of the walls of blood vessels located in the subcutaneous space.

The reasons for the development of edema on the face can be:

• seasonal allergens, in other words, plant pollen or fungal spores;
• intake of certain foods;
• stay in dusty rooms;

• redness of the mucous membranes and tonsils;
• narrowing of the lumen of the larynx;
• cough, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing;
• sore throat, difficulty breathing.

The main reasons causing allergic edema throat and larynx, as follows:

• allergies to food and drugs;
