Possible allergic : You may be experiencing an allergic reaction. An anti histamine may be helpful, and seeing your physician again to have an evaluation is suggested. If you experience difficulty breathing, please see the Emergency department. Monitor for wheezing as a sign of broncho constriction.

Globus: Your symptoms would be explained by a globus pharyngeus. This would be spasm or the larygeal area and back of your throat. This can be caused by anxiety, gastric reflux or infection.
