HAE


I took my son to the allergist, because within 7 days he had three episodes of his lips swelling and one of his foot swelling up.  It looked like he was having an allergic reaction to something.  The facial swelling greatly worried me.

The allergist said, "I want to send your son to the hospital for some blood work.  I don't think it's an allergic reaction.  I think it's Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)."
