Encephalitis caused by Diphenhydramine overdose

[edit]

There is a medication called Benadryl in the United States, in my country Israel its called, Travamin, Broncholate, etc... whcih can cause Encephalitis at overdose. It doesnt always cause it, but it is related to the Delirium disease / disorder, which is also caused by anticholinergic drugs like benadryl. Is it okay I add this to article? I just edited, now.

I forgot to say, I suffered myself from Encephalitis caused by Diphenhydramine overdose unfortunately. I recovered from it after about 3 days and felt better later. Noam Atadgy (talk) 02:53, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You will need a reliable source to support this if you want to add it to the article. CodeTalker (talk) 03:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you help me find that? Noam Atadgy (talk) 03:38, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I found 2 sources. I dont know if they are considered reliable or not? Can you check if the sources I added are okay? I found them from a simple google search. If they are not okay, i'd appreciate if you can help find, please. Noam Atadgy (talk) 03:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The NIH source does not even mention the word "encephalitis", so that source does not support your addition. The Journal of Pediatrics source is a case study of a single patient, and is also a primary source. WP:MEDRS says "Primary sources should generally not be used for medical content". You will need to find a better source. CodeTalker (talk) 04:06, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will try. I'm very busy right now here in Israel because of the war, rockets from Iran, and personal problems, and more. But, I will get to it and many other articles on Wikipedia when I can. I really like editing wikipedia, I was only a reader until recently. Noam Atadgy (talk) 04:15, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
