Is Benadryl Safe To Use For Allergic Reaction?
I had Unna boots applied to my legs 4 days ago for venous insufficiency and edema in my legs. After 4 days my legs fully decompressed but the itch and skin burning was unreal, so I cut the Unna boots off. I took Benadryl for the allergic reaction as my skin was beak red and burning. Wa I correct in doing so?

Hi.
This is great.
Benedryl syrup is one of the oldest and the best anti-allergic medicine. You did correct. You have to continue in a dosage that does not give you sedation / sleep ( seen in a few patients as a common side effect-not all).
