Don't: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) d is not recommended to be used at this age, due to the potetial side effects.The safety research is not guaranteed for these things. And they are not cures.Call your pediatrician.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine): I would not recommend Benadryl (diphenhydramine) d for your 3 year old. Don't get me wrong, . Plain Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is a good medication to treat allergy but the "d" in it is a decongestant that has been proven to have no benefit for children who have nasal or chest congestion. You do not need to cause its bad side-effect complicating your achild's illness.
