What could be wrong if benadryl (diphenhydramine) burns your throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dryness?: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can dry out the throat and make it irritable. However, an irritated throat could be caused by the medicine itself. I would discontinue it and look for other causes if your symptoms persist.
