Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

It looks like you are suffering an allergic reaction to food.
Try to think of a food you newly tried yesterday .
First of all don't eat it again.
Take any antihistamine drug such cetirizine, benadryl etc.
If it doesn't get better but still continues to worsen affecting breathing and swallowing you should go to ER for adrenaline and prednisone injections.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
