A member asked:
In the event of a hives-only, but still troubling, allergic reaction, what can someone allergic to benadryl (diphenhydramine) take? don't wanna use an epipen for hives.

Hives: Depending on the extent of your hives, you may wish to seek medical help. You can go to a walk in clinic or emergency room. I doubt your hives are from benadryl (diphenhydramine). Whatever prompted you to take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) may have been the cause of your hives.
