A member asked:
Do you think i should take pill or liquid form of benadryl (diphenhydramine) for my bug bite / hives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Both forms of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) achieve the same results that may not treat your bug bites. They may just alleviate your itching. A topical over the counter steroid cream may help better with your bug bites.
