She told : "It got bigger every hour. It just kept growing and then I went to a clinic around 4.00 when I thought it was getting out of my hand."

She said that she went to see doctors about her swelling, but after they gave her Benadryl - a standard allergy medication - her swelling did not go down.

Three hours later, she was in hospital and was struggling to get words out through her fully swollen lips.

She ended up spending a couple of days in the hospital being treated, saying that comments from people kept her going.
She added: "It’s funny. I'm glad that I can give other people a good laugh about it."

In another post of selfies, she wrote: "I LOOK SO STUPPIIDDDDDDDDD."
