HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, you can use benadryl to treat the allergic reaction.

It is a drowsy anti histamine and would work well for this problem.

There are also non drowsy anti histamines such as : claritine, zyrtec, allergra

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
