Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Benadryl is an antihistamin and celestamine is a steroid.These are all drugs that may be indicated in case of severe allergy.
I will have appreciated if you told us the form of the drugs you are taking and the amounts you take.
However, Benadryl is taken orally in case of allergy at 25 to 50 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed, not to exceed 300 mg/24 hours.Adult dose for celestamine is 3 or 4 tablets per day.
The number of time you take these drugs is ok but what i would have loved to know is the quantity you take at a time.
You may work from the above information and adjust your dose.Symptoms are expected to disappear progressive as you use the drugs and should be over in approximately 5 days.If symptoms persist, you may see your Doctor for reevaluation.
Hope this will help you
Best regards
