The best approach is to find out the reason why you have angioedema in the first place. It is a symptom of a inflammatory disease. Below you will find an article on Angioedema written by American Family Physician Journal. I like their articles since the language is good for both medical professionals and layman.
"Urticaria and Angioedema: A Practical Approach" -- aafp.org

Questions such as yours should be answered by your physician since he/ she should know your health better than anyone else. Angioedema could be a result from something very benign to the very serious.

take some benadryl. It will relieve the angioedema and the itching. 25mg for day time. 50 mg for night time. It will make you drowsy. Take 50mg if your throat swells.
Buy yourself an Epipen for emergencies in case your throat ever swells up.

You can use the pink lotion. I can't remember how it is spelled. Calamine? You use it for allergic reactions or chicken pox.
