Hi,
The symptoms you are getting seems related to a possible allergic reaction.
I'd suggest to visit your physician as soon as possible to start other treatment rather than benadryl. I usually prescribe cortisonics shots for few days until improvement.
The allergic reaction is due to the antibiotic you took. Although you stopped it, it is still inside your body. Until it is cleared all, I'd suggest to add cortisonics as per your doctor's directions.
All the best!
