I gave him benedryl and a cold shower and he quickly felt better.now today, his foot is swollen (think sprained ankle). no other symptons. what should I do?

Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and he has a local allergic reaction the treatment is focused to relieve the symptoms I suggest to apply in his ankles cold compresses 3- 4 times a day x 15-20 minutes (do not apply ice) fallowed the some steroids cream such as triamcinolone or hydrocortisone gentle massage, take antihistamines 2-3 times a day x 3 -5 days, drink enough fluids, take vitamins supplements, limit his physical activity and do not scratch to avoid the skin break getting further complications.
Please kindly rate if my advise has been helpful
