Allergic reaction may be a side effect of ozempic but it's not just localized on the neck and face. If I was your doctor & ozempic is used for weight loss, I would recommend to hold it for one week & observe. If after 3-4 days the current symptoms aren't subsided or getting worse then ozempic isn't the culprit. If med is used for DM, then other meds & diet need to be adjusted for glycemic control.
