Thanks for posting your query.
The allergic reaction on your face is likely to cause a local lymph node swelling which usually subsides after the lesion subsides.
Such allergic reactions can sometimes affect the surrounding structures like throat too. You need to take an oral antiallergic like fexofenadine (Allegra) and apply a 1% hydrocortisone ointment on the affected area.
This is likely to help in the improvement over a week. In case the symptoms are persistent or there is any difficulty in swallowing or breathing then consulting a dermatologist is recommended for specific treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
Regards.
