Benadryl

Dear Dr. Shenhar, My child is 1 year old. Has been suffering from ears infections AND fluids build up for the last 3.5 month. He was treated with Amoxicillin, Omnicef, Augmentin, Cefzil AND now Zithromax. We have heard that in some cases Benadryl helps “fighting” the fluids AND can solve the problem. I realize that drying the fluid in this way can result with even more difficult to drainage it. But we thought we could first wait until the infection is gone AND then apply Benadryl on a clear fluid. I will be thankful for your advice/opinion. Shana Tova, Ziv
