I Had An Allergic Reaction Last Night, I Believe To

I had an allergic reaction last night, I believe to pecans. Never had any food allergies before but my tongue, bottom lip, nose all swelled up & my palms were really itchy.
I went to the emergency room, and after the steroid and antihistamine, I came home within the hour. Today I have a little bit of swelling in my wrists, which is where they did my IV on the right side. But it's the same swelling on my left wrist as well. Wasn't sure if I should be concerned? It's not painful, but I assume it's either vein swelling or possible fluid?
