A member asked:
Can i give my 5 year old son pain reliever fever reducer for fever now(8pm) after giving him benadryl (diphenhydramine) for a rash at 630 pm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But if the pain reducer also contains Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) then you may end up a higher dose making him more likely to get drowsy. Otherwise , no problem.
