Can I take Benadryl for swelling in the eye?

Yes, you can take Benadryl for eye swelling. It is recommended to first try applying ice wrapped in a damp towel for 10-15 minutes as often as needed throughout the day. If this doesn't provide relief or if the swelling is unbearable, taking Benadryl may help. However, be aware that it can cause drowsiness. The recommended dose is 25 mg every 6 hours, which equals 20 ml for a product with a concentration of 6.25 mg per 5 ml. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
