Can Tylenol, Codine And Benedryl Be Taken Together?

A child age 2 yr 3 mo with allergies and asthma severed the end of his thumb in an accident . The pediatric hand specialist sewed it back on and put the child in a cast. He prescribed Tylenol w/ codine for pain every 6 hrs. And an antibiotic. My question is this : can the child also have benedryl for his allergies?

never go for combinations; what is more important is pain for the procedure and tylenol is better; later you can give benadryl.
