Are Blatantly Wrong Answers By Doctors Ever Corrected? Someone Asked

Are blatantly wrong answers by doctors ever corrected? Someone asked about benedryl on a stye. The doctor said, "Benadryl is for coughs." These kinds of basic errors should be deleted and after X number of deletions, the doctor should be removed from your site. BTW, while Benadryl is a non-standard treatment for styes, it CAN be used in an effort to calm the reaction to allergies which can make the stye even more uncomfortable.
