Help! Benadryl dosage?

I'm hoping one of you can help me out. Ava broke out in a rash all over her hands, knees, arms and face. It happened right after we were playing outside before dinner. I rushed to Walgreens to get Benadryl but I can't remember what dosage our pedi told us to use before. It says on the box not to use under 4 years but I'm sure this is the one we used before for the airplane but of course I left it at my parents.

Anyone know the dosage for a 20 lb baby?

    Thanks! I did end up googling it and it turned out it was what I thought but I just needed to make sure. Because it's Sunday night, the pharmacy at Walgreens was already closed :( so my first thought was to come on here and ask, haha. I don't know why I didn't think to google it in the first place...I was a little in panic mode and wasn't thinking clearly.

    @hijoi thanks! I hope she's feeling better in the morning too. She's never had a rash like this before so it kind of freaked us out. I was going to text photos of it to my inlaws (FIL is a Dr and MIL is a nurse) but they overreact to EVERYTHING and I know if I had done that, there probably would have been an ambulance on our doorstep in a matter of minutes.
    Btw: how is your eye??

    @briderx I always double check too! Better to be safe than sorry right? :)
