A member asked:
Ringing in both ears with fluid will benadryl (diphenhydramine) help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine that crosses the blood brain barrier and causes drowsiness. Ringing in the ears will not be helped by an anti-histamine or any other drug. If you truly have middle ear fluid, the medical or surgical alleviation of the fluid might resolve the ringing.
