Does Benadryl Cause Itchy Rashes All Over The Body?
Was diagnosed with flu type A toadstool and given medications. Was told to take Benadryl as an anti-histamine. Took one with other meds, about an hour later noticed red, itchy bloches all over body & took another Benadryl and another An hour later. Still feel weird, can I take another one without doing more harm? Have taken4 Benadryl in the last 5 1/2 hours?

Hello,
It sounds strange, but some people are allergic to Benadryl. Benadryl treats allergy, but it gives several people hives. In this case, I suggest prescribed corticosteroids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
