Her right eye, she thought it was going to swell shut. Her doctor put her on Benadryl and Prednisone. After the first one was when it happened with her hands, they could not figure it out what it was. The doctor checked good and said he could not see any bites it was just hives and swelling. After the second dose was when she had hives and swelling in her neck face and throat. All she was allergic to Penicillin. She said all of it was recovered now thank God. She did not know when it all went away, it was several days ago, maybe a week ago. She went like she said with the hives and everything she experienced it was driving her crazy. Her face was swelling. She asks her son was it the 8Feb when they went to (city name) she clarifies no it was 10 Mar, her face was all swollen and she went to the doctor.
