No problem: There should be no significant interaction between Benedryl and Motrin, which can be taken simultaneously provided the recommended doses and intervals are adhered to

Yes: There is no interaction between the two medicines. Be sure you know the individual doses of each. Both can be given every 6 hours as needed. Also, some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) preparations have ibuprofen already in it, so make sure you don't double dose with one of these.
