Numbness In The Cheek, Swollen Jawline And Lips. Took Antihistamines. Cause?

It started last night with a numbness in my cheek which felt as though I had an injection at the dentist. Though the night it moved along to the other side of my face so I took an anti histamine tablet. This morning my jawline and lips are swollen and my lips are very red. The bottom part of my face below my nose feels numb.
