Brief Answer:
It can be early signs of food allergy

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through.

Based on the history you have shared, it can be early signs of food allergy, but at this moment drinking more amount of water and monitoring for any increasing drowsiness or skin rash or lips or facial swelling should be strictly monitored and if any such sign kick in, an earlier medical review should be sought but it's still too early to comment about that for sure so at this moment waiting and following the symptoms would be the right approach.

If needed, anti histamines like cetrizine or loratidine may be used in cases of allergic rash. Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Regards.
