Allergic reaction

I bought some random spicy Asian noodle soups yesterday, and I was having hot flashes for a large part of the evening and during the night I was feeling like shit basically and now I got about 10 red dots around my body. At first I confused them for misquote bites because they look identical and I always feel like scratching them, I’m pretty certain now it’s some type of an allergic reaction. Which means I must be allergic to something, however I disposed of the containers already and I don’t know what the hell was in it. I think it was some odd spice or something in one of the soups, I don’t recall the name.
Should I go see a doctor? I don’t really feel sick or anything just a few scratchy spots, also what are some common spices used in Asian cooking?

try some benadryl to relieve the itching. Your best bet if you want to know is to buy those soups again and check the ingrediants, then get allergy test for those specific ingrediants.

it's probably monosodium glutamate, used a lot as flavour enhancer in the asian kitchen

No I'm not, the only thing I am allergic to that I know of is penicillin.

Also could there be any more reactions? I ate one soup at approximately 12:00 and another one at 4:00 PM and its 1:08 PM now. Can drinking water help get whatever I am Allergic out of my body?
