Why would you not administer benadryl to someone having an asthma attack?

If the cause of their asthma is known and is not a histiminic reaction. Benadryl should not be given to someone having an asthma attack because coughing is the persons way of forcing the air out of the lungs. Suppressing cough will only make it worse. You need to treat it instead with a fast acting medicine that opens the airways...such as albuterol.
