Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
These are obvious severe allergic reactions and you must do allergic testing for all common medications and then find the one appropriate for you. You should also always have antialergic kit by yourself to prevent such further attacks.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
