Hello, Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms are suggestive of some allergic reaction, which should be examined thoroughly for proper diagnosis and treatment.
For your condition I would suggest you to follow 1.Apply ice pack over the affected area 2.Tab Antihistamines 3.Tab Lyser D, which will helps to reduce the swelling.
If the symptoms are not coming down you may have to admit for intravenous antibiotics and fluids. Don't hesitate to consult your doctor at the earliest. Thank you.
