General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
The allergen is unknown and can be any of the factors mentioned in the query.
I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
If the symptoms continue, you may need steroid shots.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
