Hello,

The swelling has responded to antihistamines. So clinically I can say this might be an allergic reaction.
It is a hyper reaction of the skin to any allergen.
The allergen may be anything under the sun.
To pinpoint any particular allergen is difficult but can be done if you carefully follow the event before the allergy.
Keep away from the causative allergen.
It not still convinced then you can go for an MRI Brain and Paranasal sinuses to rule out any organic causes.
