Hello, I am new here and the reason I joined is to try and find a reason for my baby’s ongoing/undiagnosed facial swelling (usually around eyes, but somtimes cheeks and lips). My baby is 17 months old and for the past 6 months she has had facial swelling after waking up from asleep. This does not occur every day, but hit or miss (sometimes a week straight, sometimes once a week). We have been to every pediatrician and allergy specialist in our area without any diagnosis for her condition. All blood test come back "good" from what we are told. No genetic history of diseases on either side of families. We have tried different washing detergents on her bedding (straight baking soda too). They ruled out food allergies also. We live in a basement apartment, no pets, no smokers (in our apt.), and a shared building wide washer and dryer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my last shot before we pack up and head to the Mayo Clinic.
Attached is a picture of her 3 hours after Benadryl was given, and I can provide more pictures from different angles.
