After Sex Had Itching All Over Except Genitals, Sore Throat And Bumps On Elbows And Wrist. Took Benadryl

Allergic
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for asking.
It seems to be an allergic reaction with generalised itching and rash,the fac that it is getting better with benadryl ( antiallergic medicnes) reinforces the view that it is an allergic reaction.
I do not think so it is related to sex in any way, allergies are very hard to pin point to, lot of people can take months to years to find out what exactly is triggering the allergic reaction.
I will advise you to take anti allergic medicines regularly for two to three days, can use local calamine lotion for relief.
It should settle down quickly , if does not or reoccurs again, you may need to go or allergic testing to look for the cause of it.
Thanks.
Please let me know if you need more information.

Detailed Answer:
You do not have any rash on the genital area so the possibilty of herpes simplex 2 is very rare.
It looks like an allergic reaction which should get better with medicines, although if it get worse inspite of the medicne you have taken, you may have to go to hospital for cortisone injections.
