Can Botox Treat Facial Angioedema?

jenniferborlen
I have facial angioedema on the left side of my face and it usually flares up during a hormonal swing. I was wondering if Botox would be a viable treatment for this condition? I currently us a combination of anti-histamines and steroids to treat it, but I would like to try something that may have a longer lasting effect. Thank you.
