“Can I give my kid Benadryl to sleep?”
I have a 7 year old son. I want to know can I give my kid Benadryl to sleep?

No. I counsel all my patients of all ages not to use this medication to help sleep. It decreases deep and dream sleep. The effect wears off and an increase in dosing is common.
No. Benadryl can cause agitation in many children.
