Is It Safe To Take Flu Shot After Taking Tylenol Tablet?

I have dealt with chronic sinitis or sneezing & runny nose for a long time as an adult. I started taking an over-the-counter allergy tab containing benadryl for a long time as it is the only one that allays my symptoms. However, after reading about benadryl as belonging to a group of drugs known as anticholinergics I would like to switch to another allergy pill that acts as effective as one containing benadryl. What would you recommend?
