Brief Answer:
due to food allergy most probably

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Please provide some more information so that I can guide you specifically,

e.g.: since when are you having this?
Do you have difficulty in breathing?
Are you on any medications momentarily?

From how you have described it, this may be due to food allergy. You need to perform an allergy test to distinguish what can harm you and not use those kinds of foods again.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Regards,
Dr. Eni
