A member asked:
How long does it take for the effects of a benedryl overdose to go away? person took 500 mgs in the span of 5 hours and a day later still has fever.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ER: That is 10 times the normal dose. That person should be in the er, both for assessment of the overdose complications and the underlying reason of why this person took the overdose!
