If you go the benadryl route, I have it compounded 10 mg per ml because I am allergic to some of the unnecessary dyes and stuff they put in the liquid and pills. I haven't figured out how much stronger it is; I have just learned how much to take after 15 years of bad allergies. It's handy to carry some in a small vial when traveling or in restaurants. I gave some to my niece and it saved her a trip to the ER the next day when she had a reaction to snap peas. I like it because if I get a couple of hives and that's all, I just take a tiny sip and that takes care of them without making me sleepy.
