I'm really glad you found the benadryl.

I think people who get that kind of swelling of face, throat /tongue are supposed to go to the hospital ER or call 911, no matter what medication caused it.

If I get any kind of rash from a medication, I talk to my doctor and pharmacist before another dose, just to be cautious.

Yes. I agree. Unfortunately I was on vacation in an area without easy access to an ER. I realized it was a risk, and was prepared for the hour transfer if I didn't stabilize. I called my PCP at daylight, only to find out that he too is out with Covid.
Going for testing tomorrow though.
