Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
- Continue taking Benadryl for 10 to 14 days
- Use calamine lotion for local relief
- If you don't get better you should consider taking prescribed corticosteroids. You should consult your doctor about this treatment.
-use cool compresses for relief
-also cool showers can help
