Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Yes, it could be a side-effect or an allergy to the medication you are on .
Do consult the doctor who has advised the medication and get it replaced with a safer variety.
Also take a dose of antihistaminics like Benadryl which will reduce the symptoms of allergy and bring you to comfort.
