Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
I suggest you to continue using Benadryl.
I also recommend using Calamine lotion for local relief.
If the symptoms continue you should consult your doctor for prescribed corticosteroids for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
