Is Benadryl Effective In The Treatment Of Asthma And Chest Pain?

I have asthma And pollen plus other thing in the air are really getting to me and making it hard to breath. I’m almost positive it’s from allergies but for the last four days I haven’t been able to take a full breath and today has been terrible, my chest hurts and I’m getting dizzy and shaky from it. Will Benadryl Help this? Iv tried my inhaler and it’s not helping at all.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

According to your medical history , it seems you are having an asthma flare-up. This could be managed by increasing your usual RELIVER inhaler and CONTROLLER inhaler for short term (1-2 weeks ). If no response after 2 days , Prednisolone tablets once daily for 5-7 days can be added. If your asthma continues to deteriorate despite the above, you should see your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
