Not completely certain they are related but certainly can be. Sometimes after an infection the immune system is activated and can cause certainly symptoms such as swelling. It will be subside with time but it does not then certainly see your physician.
Many possible reasons. You would need to see a doctor to sort through the possibilities. This could be immunological (not likely classic allergy), infectious, etc.
