What Causes Swelling In The Throat After Choking Up On Food?

Hi yes I just recently choked on a small piece of bread, coughed for about 10 mins or more. It was just partially obstructed but for up to about an hour I was having a hard time getting enough breaths. Now I m breathing better but have very irritated throat and redness and swollen, itching eyes, sinuses are stuffy and feel swollen too. Is this some other reaction, or can it be from the extreme coughing, or lack of oxygen? Should I still be concerned?
