Poison Ivy in my mouth and throat?

I just did my last round of chemo for her two positive breast cancer I was in some Poison Ivy the other day. I went to the emergency room because it was in my nose now, it is in my mouth and my throat. I'm getting kind of scared and don't know what to do.

You can use Benadryl (oral antihistamines) and topical calamine or cortisone cream. I hope
You feel better soon!
