Hi
It is not clear why you are taking amoxycillin.Is it for any infection? and amoxycillin can cause allergic reaction and stop this drug and consult your physcian so that he may prescribe alternative antibiotic depending on the necessity.
Regarding benadryl you can continue it ,but your physcian may advise tests to find cause of allergy we can plan the treatment accordingly
Hope this answers your query
