A member asked:
What is better to take the itching out of a mosquito bite, zyrtec or benadryl (diphenhydramine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benadryl (diphenhydramine): Both will work, but i find that Benadryl (diphenhydramine) does a better job of taking the edge off the itching. Only problem is the drowsiness it can cause (maybe that's why it works well!).
