Sudden Itching In Inner Ears Followed By Palms, Heel, Head, Back, Red Eyes, Swelling In Tongue, Throat, Bump In Neck. Better With Benadryl And Prednisone. Ideas?

All of a sudden my inner ears became itchy. Then the palms of my hands, then the bottom of my feet. I felt weird. Then my head, neck, face and back . I looked in the mirror my eyes were very red. I took a Benydryl tab. The itching eased but my tongue stared swelling, then my throat. I went to ER. There was a bump on my neck that looked like a mosquito bite. After more Benadryl and Prendnisone it all went away. Any idea what it was?
