Can I Take Benedryl 2 Weeks Before Surgery?
I forgot to ask my Dr. about taking Benedryl 2 weeks before surgery. I am having sinus surgery at the end of April. I know I am not to take blood thinners, such as aspirin or ibuprofin, but what about my nightly dose of benedryl for my horrible allergies?
