Benadryl contains a compound known as diphenadramine which is a antihistamine and cough medicine. There are few alternatives available such as COFRYL syrup. You can ask for this name or ask for generic name of the medicine
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
