1. Which alcoholic drink you took?
Answer: Vodka and this has never happened before.
2. Have you taken same drink or same noodle or you had tried that drink or noodle for the first time?
Answer: I never combined these two and I never had the noodles before last night.

Benedril appears to be working as the swelling is decreasing.

By your history and description, possibility of allergic reaction due to noodle is more likely.
