I am 11 and a half week pregnant and having bad sinus pressure and headaches. is benadryl (diphenhydramine) safe to take at 11 weeks?

Try tylenol (acetaminophen): If you had symptoms for more than 10 days ( purulent nasal secretions, sinus pressure, cough) it could be sinusitis and benadryl will not help. Try Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain. If your symptoms are more alllergies, benadryl could help and is drug B in pregnancy no proven risk for the fetus. As a rule of thumb try to go early to the doctor while pregnant .

Try saline nose: spray and warm compresses to the face. A cool mist vaporizer may help.
