My 2year old has a bad cold, that im giving advil for fever and aches. but has an itchy rash, can i give benadryl (diphenhydramine) and advil togethere?

Yes: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Ibuprofen (advil/motrin) are fine to give together. Very different medications. Some Benadryl products come with the Diphenhydramine and Ibuprofen already combined, so make sure you don't have one of those products and end up double dosing the ibuprofen. Always read the "active ingredient" label on your over-the-counter medications.
