Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your husband is having common cold problem as per history. As he is having hypertension Benadryl like Phenylephrine drug is better to avoid. Levocetrizine can be prescribed safely. I suggest you to consult physician for examination.
