Yes, your symptoms are suggestive of an allergic reaction. I suggest you to take cetrizine as discussed earlier. Most likely they would subside.
If these symptoms worsen then they might be turn into medical emmergency i.e anaphylaxis. In that case I would suggest that you should immediately call ER.
