A member asked:
Woke up with swollen itches eyes. have 2 babies and do not want to take benadryl (diphenhydramine). is there something else i can take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other antihistamines: You may try an antihistamine eye drop or take any other kind of antihistamine. They would not do harm to your babies (vs Benadryl (diphenhydramine) which may make you very drowsy and less able to take care of your kids).
