A member asked:
My 3 year old has a bad cough from seasonal allergies, will benadryl help his cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be,: some antihistamines can sedate cough, either directly, or indirectly through drying up the secretions in the upper airways. Don't exceed recommend dosage, and if no improvement, kindly see his doctor, best wishes
