Talk to Doctor: You should not give medicine like this to a child this age without discussing it with your doctor. You need to include the reasons why you want to do this.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Yes, but the dose is based on weight, not age. I believe there is a website that calculates dosages of otc meds for parents. I think it's called "kiddose".
