Hello and welcome to HCM.
By your description it sounds like you have urticaria+ angioedema, which is an allergic reaction. It could be triggered by what you eat or may even be due to underlying infection in the body.

Please try and take notice of what may be the underlying triggering cause behind your reaction like some specific food items or any medicine etc.

For immediate relief take oral anti allergic, but since angioedema can be very dangerous, I'd suggest you to consult a doctor as soon as the swelling commences.
