Food allergies

Hi just wondering if anyone else has food allergies that make their face swell up. I'm now 95% sure I'm allergic to peaches and apricots :-/

Had some last night and when I woke up this morning my face was SOOO swollen. I feel like I can't really open my eyes too well either.

I took an antihistamine and am icing my face.

But I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this - How long should I expect the swelling for?

Thanks so much for help/input!!!

    I found out I'm allergic to peanut butter, which happens to be my cryptonite. I had swelling in my face and throat as well as hives behind my ears.

    The hives I had for almost two weeks before I got a cream for them and stopped eating peanut butter. As for the swelling, after an antihistamine the swelling would go down within hours. I hope it goes away!!
