General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The prednisone and initial benadryl will help reduce the inflammatory response the the lysol but it can take a while to have an effect.

The use of steroids and anti histamines are the main stay of treatment for moderate to severe allergic reaction. In very severe cases, additional treatment may be needed but this is not likely the case here.

The numbness should start to decrease.

You can consider taking the second dose of the benadryl 4 to 6 hours from the last dose.

I hope this helps
