Can you take Benadryl for tooth infection?

Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine primarily used to relieve allergy symptoms and is not intended for treating infections. While it may help alleviate some discomfort associated with a tooth infection, it does not address the underlying infection itself. It's important to consult a dentist for appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or other dental care. Always follow medical advice before taking any medication for health issues.
