What Causes Swelling On Roof Of The Mouth And Throat?

I threw up quite a bit on Sunday early morning at about 1AM. I've barely eaten anything the only thing that stayed down and didn't hurt swallowing was ice cream Sunday evening. Now the roof of my mouth feels swollen the back of my throat feels swollen and when I try to swallow solids I feel like the food gets stuck in my chest and it hurts real bad. It's now Tuesday morning and I'm still feeling the pain, will it go away?
