A member asked:
While having any of the "suspected covid" symptoms, is it bad to take benadryl to help sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Covid: Benadryl is an antihistamine that can actually be helpful during covid if you are having a lot of secretions, or congestion. In general it is fine to take it but if you are experiencing symptoms of shortness of breath or confusion then would not recommend it.
