Hi,thanks for query.the symptoms are suggestive some allergic reaction.The reason could be some insect bite,some food or cosmetic allergy.You need to keep a watch about the reason and try to recollect things when you had it.Please take anti allergic drugs as and when required.When problem persists you may need some blood investigations like blood counts,blood sugar etc.
