Question 2

Accepted Answer

Question 3

can i take zyrtec and claritin together? or can i take zyrtec and benadryl (diphenhydramine) to boost the zyrtec?  will taking mucinex dm along with zyrtec help?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If your allergies are not controlled with one med alone, stepping up to a different med like flonase, nasonex, etc., will likely help you more than taking two antihistamines. Zyrtec and Claritin will not help much at all if you have a cold and not allergies, though Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can dry up secretions somewhat. You can add Mucinex if you also have a cough. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms.

Question 4

i have bug bites along my arm and shoulder (not mosquito) and the swelling/itching is pretty bad. is there anything i can take other than benadryl (diphenhydramine)?

Accepted Answer

Bites: ice your itchy bites and put a topical steroid to help you with the rash

Question 5

should i take one or two pills of benadryl (diphenhydramine)? i had a breakout on my face with redness and itchiness, along with swelling around my eyes.?

Accepted Answer

You can take 50 mg: You may take 50 mg of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) every 6 hours for 24  to 48 hours, and if they don't clear, you need to see a physician.

Question 6

can i take diphenhydramine at night, along with nyquil. also, if i need to, can i take klonopin with nyquil or diphenhydramine?

Accepted Answer

: Your pharmacist will be able to cross check all your medicaions for possible drug drug interactions in their database. It is best to avoid diphenhydramine for the common cold.  Nyquil alone is usually effective in reducing symptoms. Monitor temperature and reduce fever as indicated. A COVID 19 screening test is recommended. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and prolonged cough.

Question 7

took 2 reactine e.s 24 hours ago. safe to take 2 benadryl (diphenhydramine) now?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as you are aware that this may make you drowsy- perhaps that's what you want in the first place.

Question 8

how long does it take to recover from a concussion? dr said its minor? i dont even know what that means. its been two weeks since then. am i able to consume legal edible cannabis?

Accepted Answer

: A concussion is a closed head injury causing loss of consciousness, loss of memory, or a combination of both.  There are various intensity grades.  Post-concussional recovery, in the absence of a persistent traumatic brain injury, occurs maximally over 4-6 weeks.  Not clear why edible cannabis would be of any pertinent value.

Question 9

can i take. loratadine if i'm allergic to benadryl (diphenhydramine) ?   the benadryl (diphenhydramine)  causes svt, s.

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Loratadine is also an antihistamine, so you may have a similar reaction to it as to the benadryl (diphenhydramine).

Question 10

is it okay to take marijuana while on benadryl. i take the marijuana as a sleeping aid because its the only thing that works. what are you opinions?

Accepted Answer

Smoking is toxic: Toxic means unsafe, or really unsafe. The intentional habit of inhaling burning organic material, combined with various chemicals used in the growing and manufacturing of that material (regardless of whether it is tobacco, marijuana, or any other plant) is bad for the body. Just think about it. Who would intentionally start something burning and inhale the stuff over and over and over?
