The differentiation between and angioedema is not difficult. Those with a history of medication use and more severe symptoms are more likely to have fixed drug eruption. Prevention of fixed drug eruption is more important than treatment. Patients should remember the drugs they are allergic to and actively inform their doctors, and absolutely avoid using those drugs again. If an outbreak occurs, the allergenic drug should be stopped immediately. For mild cases, topical antibiotic ointment can be applied, and diphenhydramine can be taken orally for treatment. For patients with severe redness and swelling, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medications blindly, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
