My daughter's eye is swollen after a sting, can I give her Benadryl?

Yes, you can give Benadryl to your daughter if her eye is swollen due to a bite. The dose is calculated based on her weight, so make sure to use the children's liquid form with the concentration recommended. The usual dose is between 8 and 10 ml, 3 to 4 times a day as needed. Be cautious as the medication can cause drowsiness or excitement in young children. If the reaction worsens or becomes severe, seek medical help promptly. Applying ice or a cold compress for 10 to 15 minutes can also help alleviate swelling.
