    Alright...I'm no medical proffesional but I can guess some things that make sense.
    First, I don't think that is a deadly disease, like cancer. It's been 3 years and his overall health has been fine (excluding the head). When you have a deadly disease, you die within months and it gets worse. But this stayed the same after it swelled to its full level. As mentioned, his sympoms were:
    -Severe, itchy eyes
    -Runny nose
    -Irritated eyes and red nose
    Again, this sounds like a sinusitis. We all had sinus problems, right? I actually have a sinus infection right now. My only symptom is a cold feeling in the sinuses, and a bit watery eyes because that irritates. My symptoms are completely different than his, but, there are a lot of types of sinus problems. However, I also recently had an allergy and my symptoms were the same as his. It could be an allergic reaction. Something that provokes an allergy in his body may have got under his skin. Remember, he lives near nature. That would be my diagnosis. But, what he needs is an X-RAY and a blood test. It must detect something;if it doesn't, then it could be something much easier to treat. Something like an allergen buried under his skin, as I said. This problem can and must be solved.

    I could have been a news report?! I was exactly like those two people with angeoadema. I have it, I would swell in my face and looked just like Romulo. I also broke in hives from my head to the bottom of my feet. No doctor knew what was wrong with me. I used Benadryl and other antihistamines along with steroid, NOTHING HELPED. Of course I done my own research and started taking Zyrtec, it was like a miracle! The next morning no hives, no pain, no itching! But for the next couple years if I forgot ONE DOSE I would swell up and break out all over again. Years later it disappeared on its own. I now get hay fever extremely bad now-a-days but if I take Zyrtec I’m fine. If I’m pregnant I’m hospitalized. It’s weird i don’t know if they’re connected but seems like it.
