Guest guest Posted October 29, 2000 Report Share Posted October 29, 2000 Edith, I have bouts of facial swelling myself. In addition to Jen's great suggestions, I find that an otc acid reducer called Tagamet helps greatly. I take 200 mg. a day and I believe the generic name for this drug is cimetidine. Also, I find that taking one or two tablets of children's aspirin helps. Hope you're feeling better soon! Matija > Edith, can you try an antihistamine like benadryl, zyrtec or claritin?
