What Causes Itching Behind Ears With Swelling On Lips,face And Jaw Line?

Posted on Mon, 21 Jul 2014

Question: I started off last night with an itch behind my ears and neck like mosquito bites. Then on my torso. Followed by my lips swelling I took Benadryl. I woke up this morning with swelling of the face on the jaw line more on my left side and near the ear. I have a sore throat like an allergy and I don't think I have a fever but I feel warm. Should I be concerned. Also my neck is stiff. Left side
