Not sure: Your question is not clear but the benadryl (diphenhydramine) is quite appropriate . It is not habit forming and can be taken for several days if you have a lot of swelling and redness need to see a doc. If just a mild swelling then just treat it conservatively. keep area clean and use the benadryl (diphenhydramine). Best wisehs
