Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of sneezing, chills, itching in eye and swelling along with swollen tongue seems to be consistent with allergic reaction to some known or unknown allergen..
You should continue taking benadryl and consult an Allergist to get evaluated for the exact cause of allergic reaction and treatment can be planned according to the cause..
You can also be advised to get allergic tests done to rule out the exact cause of allergic reaction and preventing exposure to the allergen will prevent allergic symptoms..
You can also be given Immunotherapy to reduce the severity and frequency of allergic attack..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
