I am allergic to fish. i had fries tonight that shared the same fryer. i'm having a reaction-my tonsils are beginning to touch. will benadryl (diphenhydramine) work?

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may work: but you may need adrenaline or steroids. I would go to ER immediately if your tonsils are swollen. They could block your throat and airway.
