What Causes Swelling On Face After Taking Cortisone Shots?

I received 2 cortisone shots two days ago and this morning I saw my face all swollen, it looks like sunburned as well. About an hour ago my throat started tightening.I am 52 years old, 5 8, 150 pounds. Should I go to the doctor or will it go away? Thank you, Miryam
