I was bitten by a mosquito two days ago on my arm and hand. I have had excessive swelling and used to always take Dimetane as a child. Benadryl makes me very sleepy. Is there a different antihistamine that I can take other than Benadryl?
What can I take for an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite instead of Benadryl?

I am not sure where you live or what kind of insurance you have, but a mosquito bite should not swell up, outside of the normal little itchy bump. You need to go to an Urgent Care or see a physician soon.
