A member asked:

Can i take benadryl (diphenhydramine) for sinus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an anti-histamine and has properties to dry secretions. If you are having sinus congestion from seasonal allergies, this may help alleviate some of your symptoms. It would also help if you have a runny nose.
