Lymph glands?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
Pratik,

Benadryl is a common antihistamine. The generic name is Diphenhydramine. It is often used to help prevent allergic reactions during transfusion. It's commonly used for sinus allergies and head cold symptoms. You should be able to find it at a chemist. What I meant about what Sarah said was when she mentioned transfusions, because a reaction to blood is one of the more likely explanations for the swollen lymph glands. Try Benadryl and see if they lessen at all.

Pratik:
Andy,

Yes I know Benadryl, its easily available here. I am little skeptical taking it because as far as I believe, its sweet in taste and I have diabetes.

Still should I try it?

And if I could borrow your sometime if you don't mind, could you research any cure for this? Of course, if you are free.  :hugfriend

-Pratik.

Andy Battaglia:
You're thinking of benadryl syrup. The drug is also available as capsules or tablets and contains no sweetener.

Pratik:
Ah, okay. I'll try it, as well. But I don't think it'd permanently solve my problem.

Andy Battaglia:
If you do get some relief, it will tell you that the cause is transfusions. It would be good to establish a cause if you want to find a remedy.
