What Causes Swelling In The Ears And Neck After Eating A Sandwich?

Yesterday, after eating a sandwich, I had an allergic reaction where the left side of my neck from my ear down to my neck started to swell. I took a benedril and it went down. Everytime I eat anything, the swelling comes back. There is pain from the pressure on my ear. I have expereienced this 4 times in the last 12 months. I don't know what I am allergic to which triggers the reaction.

Hi i do care for your concern.
Your history suggest more of allergic reaction occurring in parotid gland.
More details such as your age and whether any allergy present will help a lot to arrive at diagnosis.
I would advise
To consult your dermatologist and have tested for the substance causing allergy.
Benadrly may help for short time only, it is advisable that you have de-sensitization procedure done.
Hope everything gets well soon.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
