My son is 10 and has a reaction on his upper inner leg high up like something bit him? it's a big round swelling warm to touch, gave benadryl (diphenhydramine) not gone

Needs to be seen: If it's not responding to antihistamine probably not allergic, may be infection. Go to ER, Pediatrician, GP, acute care center, but go now.
