Are Swelling And Pain Under The Chin Symptoms Of An Allergic Reaction?

The area under my chin is swollen and painful to touch. Half of my face is flushed and fells hot and swollen. I ate cod and shrimp about 5 hours ago but have never had a problem eating it before. Seems to be getting a little more pa8nful. I have no problems breathing right now. Allergic reaction?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

What you are experiencing is hypersensitivity reaction to food. Delayed food allergy reaction from food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome also may be a possibility. It is advisable you immediately go to an ER for proper care. Your doctor may advise skin-prick tests or blood tests to exactly know the cause/allergen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
