Can Antihistamines Be Used While On Keflex?

Can I use either OTC antihistamines or cannibis while on Keflex ( for cellulitis ) to take the edge of the pain and help me sleep? The skin blisters on my leg are pretty painful and I need to get some sleep. I already have chronic pain because of fibromyalgia and a lot of arthritis, but try to keep the usual pain meds to a minimum. YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can take antihistamines while on Keflex or any other antibiotics. They doesn't interact with each other or doesn't affect the efficacy of each other. You can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol for pain.

Wishing all the best.

Thanks.
