Hello,

If you're suffering from allergy you may take Benadryl. But this drug is not effective for a long duration. Long duration of intake may lead to side effects.

Take this drug under your doctor guidance only.

I think I have answered your question, if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Take care.

Regards,
