Hi dear.... benadryl is a mild allergy medication.Since you are unable to figure out the source of the raection.
I would suggest you to apply calamine lotion over the area of the reaction.This will give a soothing effect.
You can also give her tab.allegra (fexofenadine 60mg twice a day for five days...if it doesnt subside in 5 days continue for 2 more days)
She can also apply a cortisone cream once or twice a day .... but not along with calamine lotion.
This should help her certainly
I hope this answers you query dear.
take care.
