Is Benadryl Sufficient To Treat Itching And Irritation All Over Body?
I have been itchy all over different parts of my body which is extremely irritating. I have not changed any products that I use on my body or wash. I had noticed this had started 4 days later when I had been taking Nambutone for inflammation. I had stopped this medication last Thursday and have been taking Benadryl. is there anything I can do for this other than what I am taking. This seems to subside then the itch comes back so intense I can't stand it.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you were taking Nambutone for inflammation as such there is no this kind of side effect of Nambutone, but it is possible that you can be allergic to it, which is causing irritation. But before starting any medication for allergy you should consult your physician who has prescribed you the medication as he can help you better in diagnosing the condition and in its treatment.
Thank You
