Brief Answer:
Allergic test to be done.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Looks like allergic reaction.
Go to nearest emergency room and get a shot of 1 ampule of avil(antihistaminic) with 1 ampule of dexamethasone i.v...This would immediately provide relief to you.
After that take anti histaminic like Allegra 180 mg once a day for 3 days.
Suggestion-
Get a allergic test done.
Avoid all foods you are allergic to.

Thanks!
