Benadryl is an antihistamine. It does not work on or affect the temperature center of biological organisms.
Now, if you're referring to the term "Hay Fever" which is another term for Allergies, pollen irritants, etc. yes, you can give Children's Benadryl, in SMALL doses to a dog or cat to help them with sneezing, dry cough, etc.
Do this only after you have called a vet and spoken with them or a vet tech to ensure that you're giving the right proportion of medicine-to-body-weight ratio.
I've used it in my ferrets and cats for allergies, sneezing, etc. and never had any problems. It does have a sedating, sleep inducing affect, so they may get sleepy after being given the medicine.
If your dog has a real fever, then you need to check with your vet to determine why there is fever and what can be given safely to the animal to control the fever.

For the most part, no. Dogs with allergies tend to have skin and gastrointestinal tract issues, not the upper respiratory signs shown by humans.

However, a veterinarian who has examined your dog and determined the cause of the eye issue may prescribe Benadryl for your dog.
