Brief Answer:
Wash and Iron dresses, Benadryl appropriate, see Dr if symptoms persist
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
I think Benadryl is appropriate. I would however add that it would be nice if he could wash all his dresses and bed linings and get them ironed without repeating same dresses until symptoms fade out.
In case symptoms persist for up to a week or more, it would be advisable to see a doctor for a proper reevaluation.
Thanks and kind regards,
