Hi,

The symptoms that you have described can be seen as a side effect of using Benadryl and Piriton. These are antihistamine drugs and they commonly cause:
* Dizziness
* Drowsiness
* and Palpitations

These effects are increased when one has consumed alcohol along with the medications as well.

Some things that you can try to help reduce the itching can be Icing the area locally to numb the receptors for itching. Using a cool lotion like calamine can help as well.

In case these symptoms persist, please visit a doctor to get the right dosage of medications to help. Also, avoid taking drugs from the same class of medications.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vignan Rachabattuni, General & Family Physician
