Recurrent Swelling of His Skin?

Q: I wrote yesterday about my french bulldog having hives, we'll this morning he woke up normally ate, went to the the bathroom his normal morning routine. He is very playful and active but he just turned around and his right side if his upper mouth was swollen. I gave him Benadryl hope it goes down, should I take him to the vet or wait for the Benadryl to kick in?

A: As long as he seems to feel okay otherwise it is fine to see if the swelling recedes over the next couple hours. I am going to call you and see if we can figure this out.
