Hi, welcome to the forum, the first thing to be ruled out is allergy and swelling involving lips, larynx and tongue is termed as angioedema. If having breathing problems then he needs to go hospital without delay.
There are certain known triggering factors like ACE inhibitors, stress, excitement, cold exposure, prolonged sitting or standing, and ingestion of certain foods. Hence, he needs to identify this triggering factor and avoid the further exposure.
He needs to keep track of things (maintain a diary) he was exposed to such as food, cloths, drugs etc. and he should avoid further exposure. Drugs like Adrenaline, anti-histaminics and corticosteroids are the standard mode of treatment which should be taken after consultation from physician. Take care and regards
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Have him do Dr. Coca's Pulse Test. It's a free download-public domain.
It will show any sensitivities,allergies or reactions to anything ingested.
It takes about a week. Fairly accurate but must follow it precisely.
Also include medications and drinks.
Just a hunch but you can try it : Kraft Italian dressing may include msg.
.Do a search for hidden names for msg as it is used under different names for a long list of commercial food products.
If you need info on holistic allergy elimination and BP management without drugs please post at the alternative therapies or message me directly.

And this goes for many commercial products as it is a cheap major flavoring agent.
