If it's a true URI, benadryl probably won't work anyway. Benadryl is an antihistamine and more helpful for Allergies. You'll need antibiotics most likely, in which case you need a vet to prescribe. You can always look for an emergency vet clinic or just wait until your vet's office is open (assuming it's just after hours and they'll be open the next day). URI's can become serious and sometimes be a sign of something fatal(Felv, FIV, FIP), but it's not typically instantly fatal.

No! Benadryl is a human drug, for human use only! If you must give your cat medication, take it to a vet and have them diagnose it. The medicine they perscribe may be similar to Benadryl, but it really isn't safe to put it anywhere near a cat.

Is it normal for cats to drool after children's Benadryl?
Before giving your cat any medication, please consult your vet first! Only your vet will be able to tell you the correct dosage for your cat. A cat drooling after giving Benadryl seems to be common. A cat will drool or foam at the mouth when eating something with an unpleasant taste, so it is likely that Benadryl does not taste pleasant to a cat. If you are at all worried, take your cat to the vet immediately. It is very easy to overdose a cat on human medication, and if this is the case the cat will need emergency treatment.
