Wife is highly allergic to the stings and she got nailed by a couple of bald-faced hornets last year. I had her take 3 Benadryl. It helped, but made her massively loopy. Got to where she couldn't walk without falling over. She panicked and I finally took her to ER. Doctor there said next time to use Allegra. Allegra is a more advanced antihistamine that doesn't cross the blood/brain barrier, and it doesn't make you tired. Doc also said to take AS DIRECTED ON THE BOTTLE; no need to take more as it likely will not improve the benefit.
We didn't know it at the time, but Benadryl is also not recommended for people over 60 years old. Here's the quote:
Use in the Elderly (approximately 60 years or older)
Antihistamines are more likely to cause dizziness, sedation, and hypotension in elderly patients.
So if you're near or over 60, be careful!! This is why the ER doc recommended Allegra or its generic, as there will not be the severity of reactions that Benadryl may have.
