benedryl is known for dealing with allergies and big bites, it works, shut up and listen to Dr. Highbank
Diphenhydromine is benadryl, and should help with the swelling. Ibuprofin is good for swelling and pain in general, but if your swelling is coming from an allergic reaction to a bite benadryl may be more effective, and you can take them together (just don't go past the recommended dose). So, in short, Dr @Highbank is right lol.Hand is still swollen from what bit me. It looks like I was in an accident and busted my smaller knuckles and all swelling up, smaller knuckles, back of hand and all sore and tight. Was like that during the race.
I need to go to a ... an .. uh what is there, an allergenist? Dermatological doctor? See why I have such extreme reaction to a mosquito(and whatever else) biting me now in these last few years. Used to come and go in the day mostly.
I am making it National "Slap a Skeeter" Day! LOL.
Stay Well!
Ah yeah. Right on. Thanks! I may just take some of the Diphen-dryl ha. It has gotten better somewhat but needs the swelling to further be reduced.Diphenhydromine is benadryl, and should help with the swelling.

You may want to consider going to an urgent care or something though if it worsens or doesn't improve. Sometimes these bites or interactions can cause types of infections that cause significant swelling and other problems. Not to freak you out or anything lol, if the benadryl helps you are probably fine, but if it doesn't start to improve soon or if it worsens a trip to the doctor may be a better solution, if nothing more than to get something stronger to reduce the inflammation.
Heya,Sorry Blitz, no AMS2. I run AC but my current computer doesn't have a graphics card and so it can only handle time trials. My hope is to get a new computer and wheel within the next year, after that all I need is the time to do it, lol
