Burning Sensation In Face, Tightness In Throat, Hoarse Voice. Had Cortisone Shot, Occipital Nerve Block. Am I Allergic To Medication?

I had a cortisone shot/ occipital nerve block and now I feel burning in my face and tightness in my throat. I also have a hoarse voice. Am I having a allergy to the medication? My legs are very achy as well. Immediately after the shot, I became faint and came very close to passing out. Lost color in face and began sweating profusely.
