To my understanding Benadryl only masks the symptoms of the reaction but a Epipen actually stops the reaction.
There are two type of reactions when H1 and H2 the Epipen only stops the H1 that why you are still required to see emergency when you have a reaction to help suppress the H2 reaction. I am by no means a medical expert, just a parent that has a severely allergic child and this is what I have gleaned from numerous visits to the ER.
