Question: can benadryl be given to a 1 year old?
Answer: Over-the-counter Benadryl products are only suitable for some age groups: Benadryl is generally not safe to give to babies or infants under 2 years old at home. Sometimes, people can safely give infants aged 2 to 5 small doses of Benadryl, but only when a doctor advises them to do so.
