See your doctor: Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at bedtime, and get evaluated asap to determine the offending agent.

It is possible : That you are allergic to the food you ate or something else. You can have another food challenge and if you reacted the same way, you may want to see an allergist who can run some tests to determine the cause. In the meantime, you can take some antihistamines to help with swelling, if you have any respiratory symptoms, you need to go to the emergency room!
