Hello,
The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I see that you have already used Benadryl to relieve the symptoms.
Based on the fact that she continues having swelling of the legs, J recommend to switch in cortisone tablets. This medication is a prescription medication, so you should consult your doctor before using it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
