Hi dear,

The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards condition like allergic reaction . Sometimes body react to some foreign particle . Such kind of reaction sometimes get worse and develop into anaphylactic shock . Although your symptoms get relieved but still you should consult doctor or allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor may take history to find out which factor is responsible for such reaction ,which is very important for its further prevention . Doctor may prescribe immunosupressants .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
