Allergic Reaction

Four days ago I started to feel as though I was getting chapped lips.  When I woke up the next morning my lips were double in size.  I took a benadryl and it went down a little bit, and during the whole day they felt numb but itchy at the same time.  They are also a little cracked and chapped.  Especially at the corners of my mouth.  It is worse when I wake up in the morning, but I'm thinking that is because it is the longest time that I don't take anything.  I haven't eaten anything different and I washed all my bedding when it first happened.  They are a little less swollen today, but they are really annoying.  Also, I kind of feel like I can't get a satisfying breath every little while.  Does anyone know what else I can do?
