Continuous use of Benadryl is not recommended due to the need for multiple daily doses and the potential for causing drowsiness. There are other options such as second-generation antihistamines like Reactine, Aerius, and Claritin, which are more effective, easier to take, and better tolerated. These medications have a longer duration of action, requiring only once-a-day dosing, and are less likely to cause drowsiness. They are also safe for long-term use and if you plan on becoming pregnant in the future.
