Will Benadryl And Allergy Pill Treat Swelling In Wrist And Forearm?
I woke up this morning with a swollen wrist/forearm. It is red and warm to the touch & so,what itchy. No sign of any type of spider bite. I've put Benadryl cream on it & that's helped with the itching. I've experienced random rashes/hives over the past year or so. I take a daily allergy pill.

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some allergy either from external allergens like soap,spray, duo spray, clothes, food,food colors, vegetables, etc, or some internal allergens like worms, chronic GI infection.
Try to find out the cause and avoid it.
Meanwhile take some antihistamine like Cetrizine orBenadryl tablet as and when require.
Ok and take care.
