Hello,

Thanks for posting your query,

For immediate relief on severe allergic situations, you might require injectable forms of antihistamines ( a few couple administered) or steroids. When treating my patients, I usually administered them antihistaminic agents such as promethazine or give them injections of steroids such as dexamethasone or betamethasone. Most patients usually get relief after a few shots.
I suggest you to the ER as soon as possible so a doctor can review you and provide you with appropriate medications.

Best wishes
