Question:
Benadryl and cough medicine...which should I give her?
My baby is 1 1/2....Dr. says she has a cold and to just use the cough medicine (DM) she perscribed months back. She has a miserable cough from the mucus and is very hoarse so I was thinking of giving her benadryl to dry her up. It always worked before but I have been scared to try it because she has been taking this cough syrup...how many hours should I wait before admin the benadryl...she had the cough medicine last at 4:30 and her nose is still pouring.
Answers:
Benadryl is Ok to give her but it is goin to make her sleepy and it really won't take care of the cough or the hoarseness. You can give her the benadryl with the cough syrup. The cough syrup is just a suppresent and won't dry anything up. If you want a second opinion your doctor should be on call.
