Antihistamine/yes: Take 25 mg of Benadryl antihistamine now and please seek urgent care. You are most likely experiencing an allergic reaction. Watch for signs of difficulty swallowing, breathing or vomiting. If these occur, this is an emergency, administer EPI PEN.

Precision lacking: Tough to be precise here due to lack of potential inciting data, and duration of reaction. But this could be a significant allergic reaction with evolution toward anaphylaxis, and, in view of your complaints, would seek emergency care ASAP.
