Facial allergic swelling can be alleviated through cold compresses. Additionally, erythromycin ointment may be used for treatment. If symptoms are severe, antihistamine medications—such as loratadine—may be taken under a physician’s guidance. During recovery, proper skin care is essential: avoid scratching the affected area with your hands to prevent worsening of symptoms, and wear a sun hat when going outdoors.
