A member asked:

Can a 12 yr old take benedryl for an allergic reaction shes having to a down pillow if she already takes a nightly zyrtec?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The basic side effect of adding 1 or 2 of the 25 mg benadryl would be sedation. I would not give more than that at one time but it could be repeated in 6 hrs if needed. If the reaction included any difficulty breathing/wheezing or other worrisome symptoms I would have her seen in the ER.
