Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine primarily used to treat allergic reactions, and it is not specifically indicated for relieving edema. While it may help reduce swelling caused by allergic reactions, it does not address other causes of edema, such as heart or kidney issues. For persistent or severe edema, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.

How many hours between children's Zyrtec and Benadryl?

As a pharmacy doctorate candidate I would say that it is not recommended to give Zyrtec and Benadryl together since they will both relieve allergy symptoms in similar ways. Zyrtec is best if you want non-drowsy relief. Benadryl would be best if you want the child to sleep. Both however, are effective.
