Gave my 31 lb 2 year old double dose of benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mistake! 4ml instead of 2ml. this just happened. should i take him to er?!

No: Observe him. If he is just a little sleepy from it, nothing to worry, unless he has difficulty breathing, vomiting or something like that. It will wear off without any complication.
