A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benadryl (diphenhydramine).: A potent antihistamine with lot side effects. Don't recommend. For what purpose are you using it and there are safer alternatives for children. Didn't state reason want use it. I say caution as there are safe alternatives to whatever u think u are treating. Please be careful. In children, meds like this seldom necessary. Avoid side effects. Consult dr.
