Hi, thank you for posting.
All your symptoms are due to Benadryl and Reactine.
Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is an effective anti-allergic, but it is a potent anticholinergic agent and it causes these side effects: dry mouth and throat, increased heart rate, irregular breathing, dizziness, irritable, confusion and fatigue.
Reactine (Ceterizine) is an effective antihistamine medicine, but it cause abdominal pain.
I recommend you to consult you allergist to discuss about your treatment.
Take Care.
Dr. Behar.
