A member asked:

I have a latex allergy when i have a reaction, should use epipen if i have a rash and hives and itchiness on my face? or try benadryl (diphenhydramine)? no sob

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO and NO: Since you do not get anaphylaxis, you should not use epi. Why do you have it? Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a sleeping pill and not a good antihistamine. Cetirizine [Zyrtec] is superior and not likely to make you sleepy. Sometimes people take 2 or 3 but usually 1 pill lasts all day.
