Can I Give Benedryl To My Son As He Is Having Cough And Wheezing Sound In His Chest During Respiration?
My grandson takes Zyrtec everyday , he does not have asthma but he had a tickly cough tonight and has wheezing sounds in his chest with his respiration, I gave him a small dose of Benadryl and he is sleeping but still wheezy. He is almost 9 years old. Do you think the Benadryl was the right choice

hello there, thanks for the quiery. I saw that benadry helped him partially, if cough persists u consult a paeditrician..since he may also need antibiotics... hope it helped.
