Which antihistamine dries up drainage best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1st generation: as diphenhydramine, because of more anticholinergic effects, but would cause more sedation, read the labels well, don't drive or operate machinery while using them, if they still don't work, see your doctor for better diagnosis and management
