A member asked:
If i took cough syrup and have allergies can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But if your cough is not from post-nasal drips, Benadryl (diphenhydramine) won't do anything for you. Make sure your cough is not from a reflux disease. Consult a doctor if the problem is a prolonged one.
