Hi,
I can understand your strong desire to find the right specialist and to get the best treatment for your mother. I did some research to familiarize myself with this condition. But, I am confused by your mother's particular case. Let me explain. I found information on hereditary angioedema, which is a rare and serious problem with the immune system that is passed down through families. If your mother has been diagnosed with non-hereditary angioedema, is this not the same as angioedema? Angioedema may be caused by an allergic reaction, or after infections or with other illnesses including autoimmune disorders such as lupus, and leukemia and lymphoma.
You might want to research university hospitals in your area that might have allergists who specialized in this condition on staff.
