My son needs some benadryl and the one i have expired in october of 2016. is it okay to give it to him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better not: unless you have no choice, won't harm him, but may not help, as it is almost 6 months past the expiration date, but how old is your son? and why do you need to give him benadryl?
