Go to the doctor. Definitely go to the doctor and do not try to take anything OTC that is related to NSAID. Even though Aleve and other medications do not say the contain ibuprofen they work the same and will trigger an allergic reaction. Be careful of aspirin too it's hidden in various medications. Do not try to treat yourself Allergies are nothing to fool with it may be a mild reaction one time and a severe reaction the next.
