I gave my 27 month old a teaspoon and a 1/2 of benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mistake do i need to be worried?

I wouldn't think so: If your kid is an average weight the recommended dose would have been 6.4ml which is not far off from the 7.5 ml you gave. Often we just recommend 1tsp / 25lb as a basic dose. The med is a bit sedation at any dose to some some have the opposite response & become excitable.
