I took a benadryl. My sinus headaches went away and so did my cold. I thought i'd be fine now but my nose is still stuffed up. I feel normal but clogged. My right side of my face and jaw is hurting and throbbing. Like i'm getting a migraine. Am I able to take moltrin 800ml along with benadryl. Not allergic to anything

Medicines?
I have a very simialar problem. It seems as though I am always congested even after taking benadryl or any other allergy medication. I would strongly suggest that you would not mix motrin with benadryl. Maybe you would want to talk to a doctor about using an allergy nasal spray. Sorry I cant help you more, these are just some suggestions.

My recommendation would be to take something more along the line of sudafed. Benadryl is mainly for allergic reactions and there is no sense in taking active ingredients you don't have to. 800mg of motrin is a lot.. Be careful of how often you take that dose... Keep an eye on your sinus pain.. Be sure it doesn't turn into a sinus infection. Also, if you want a great nose spray decongestant, try affrin.. It's great!

Nasal Issues
I agree to the motrin advise...Do not start mixing drugs...Even otc drugs...They still can have a very adverse reaction.
I also recomend you go and see the doctor regarding the sinus pain...May be an infection afterall and you would need an antibiotic for that.

Do you suffer from alergies and or asthma currently?

If you are interested in some potentially helpful solutions to the above conditions, please let me know.

Using the medicines seem so scary for me. I found one, it is very natural product. It cannot get rid off the synthom but it help to relief the clog in taking breathe a lot. Let me know if you are interest.
