TL;DR
If swelling is getting worse, the advice was to go to a hospital immediately, especially if you have travel insurance. While arranging care, people also suggested taking an antihistamine if you already have one and know it is safe for you.
The most recent advice from an experienced allergy sufferer was to try anti-allergy drops first, since they can help some people, but if symptoms worsen you still need in-person medical care.
Another recommendation was not to judge by someone else’s reaction, because allergies are highly individual. If the swelling is increasing, go straight to a hospital, especially if you have insurance.
People also suggested taking an antihistamine as a first step if you already have one available, but with significant swelling this should not replace urgent medical assessment.
