Angioedema

Asked for Female, 33 Years

Swelling on face, eyes, lips, cheek, forehead, limbs, figures, palm, tongue, oesophagus, and breathing difficulty sometimes. Eyelids get completely closed. Simply swelling on face and with redness, itching and patches on limbs, waist etc. Took antihistamin (Bapotastine 10mg BD) and cortisteroids (Deflazacort 6mg SOS) for 2 continuous years. Was controlled to little extent. Now has stopped for 5 months due to pregnancy. And it has errupted again very badly. Worried about the safety of baby? Can angioedema be cured completely?
