Suggest Treatment For Hives
I was diagnosed with hives and my doctor told me to take benadryl and zyrtec every six hours and she prescribed prednisone incase it got worse.... The next day I woke up with slight swelling around my eyes, where the hives were... I continued taking benadryl all day as directed and the swelling just got worse... I started the prednisone today and am wondering if I should still take benadryl

Hello, Welcome.
I understand your concern
It looks like you are allergic to benadryl. So it's not advisable to continue with it.
You should switch to prednisone and continue with it as per your Dr 's advice.
Hope this will be helpful.
Take care.
