Does Benadryl Help With Difficulty In Sleeping?
Brief Answer:
Most likely is safe to take.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If he has had Benadryl in the past and it has helped him, it is generally ok to take. I am assuming he is not on other antihistamines or similar medications.
Benadryl can sometimes be a bit drying, which can make secretions more difficult to come up, but there isn't a contraindication to using it with pneumonia, and I will assume he is being treated with an antibiotic too.
