Brief Answer:
Probably an allergic reaction, follow the advice below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
I recommend to take an antihistamine such as Benadryl every four hours.
If you feel breathing difficulties it is better to go in the emergency room as soon as possible for treatment.
