Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have laryngitis mostly due to spring allergies and have been run down. I’m also a teacher who talks a lot. Resting my voice, gargling with salt water, tea with honey. Would Benadryl hurt because it’s a decongestant? I am hoping to speed up recovery.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Benadryl is not commanded in laryngitis and it wont speed up recovery.
