Brief Answer:
Yes, you definitely consult doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your symptoms are mostly due to allergic reaction.
And you need urgent treatment in the form of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs.
Delayed treatment can cause breathlessness, choking, worsening face edema etc. So better to consult doctor and start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
