A member asked:

What sinus and allergy medicine is safe to take for someone who has seizure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid benadryl (diphenhydramine): Most over the counter allergy meds are fine, but avoid benadryl (diphenhydramine). Better to use nasal sprays, avoid allergans, and use probiotics. Good rest and healthy diet and reasonable exercise is important.
