Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Benadryl is a cough suppressant and anti allergic as well. It can be taken with these medicines and it doesn't interact with them.
It may help you a little bit in reducing the coughing episodes.
My personal opinion would be to add up an anti allergic like a combination of Levocetrizine and montelukast along with the medicines that you have been taking instead of Benadryl.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
