Allergic reaction: This is an allergic reaction, most likely to an ingredient in the drink. Find out, if you're able to, the various ingredients you ingested. Treatment now consists of taking an antihistamine like benadryl(causes drowsiness) or claritin(nondrowsy). If the allergic reaction worsens(throat swelling, breathing problems, severe weakness), head to the hospital emergency room.

You may have a food: allergy to something in the latte you drank. Are you milk allergic? One of the ingredients is reacting in you, if f you feel that way throughout your body is not normal, and you could be releasing histamine. Stop drinking it, Drink lots of water to dilute it. If that doesn't reduce itching, call your doctor. See what they say. You may benefit from Benadryl OTC, but if shortness of breath, go to ER
