I had my hair done at a hairdressers I've never been to before yesterday. They did a patch test last week so way enough time, but didn't feel anything from it, perhaps a slight tingle when she first put it on but nothing afterwards, she said it was normal.
When she was applying the dye yesterday, it felt fine but a little bit itchy in the nape of my neck and my scalp felt a bit tight when it was drying...I thought all that was normal as it went away after a few minutes and the tightness went away when it was washed off.
I felt fine afterwards but last night as I was trying to go to sleep, there was an itchy spot near my ear, I put some cream on and it went away, I just thought it was a pimple, but it's not here this morning. I felt a lump in my throat last night also and it's prompted me to keep swallowing and swallowing as it feels uncomfortable and that's only made it worse, it's still there today, my tongue was yellow before I brushed my teeth and my throat and tonsils look red and inflammed. My face feels a bit hot and dry. Never normally have any kind of reaction but hair dye reaction is a HUGE fear of mine so it's took me months and months to pluck up the courage to go and get my hair done and now I finally have, I'm regretting it. My hair looked a mess and it was making me miserable, so I just bit the bullet and did it and this is the reward I get, looks like I have actually had a reaction. I have a med phobia so can't take antihistamines, as they make my heart rate higher....can't get in the doctors today as I rang too late on in the day and they were booked up, so hoping to get in tomorrow. I start a new job on friday and I'm terrified of getting worse and my throat closing up and it'll ruin everything.
What do you think? Have I had a reaction or could it be something else? Will it go away on it's own?

Okay now, I've got myself into a bit of a mad state, I looked up anaphalactic shock and it mentioned the lump in the throat and difficulty swallowing... I don't know what to do :'(
