Hello?

Jk, making sure you werent dead..

Benadryl is safe, but makes you exttremly tired!

I took a dose one day at noon & I slept all day while Malia was with me playing on the bed! I felt soo bad that I couldnt stay awake to really attend to her. Just long enough to feed her & change diapers.

As soon as I'm done breastfeeding, gunna take a dose Just to sleep! Lol.

Try taking one pill instead of two, shouldnt make you as drowsy.

Ya try to avoid meds that dry up mucous. Saline sprays are OK or neti pots. There's elderberry syrup for the cold aspect of it. I love it because its safe for my kids too

@Bahamamama thanks. Ive nvr heard of elderberry. An neti pots gross me out lol

Bahamamama4828

Lol haha OK then saline spray

It is a spray, I love it and yes it is prescribed. It reduces the swelling of your nasal passages (they swell with allergies) so the yucky stuff can flow out easier.

The neti pots seem gross but are actually very easy and work wonders. I speak from experience lol
