Diphenhydramine blocks a natural substance (histamine) during an allergic reaction. Ammonium chloride decreases mucus stickiness, and sodium citrate being mucolytic, loosens the mucus and makes it easier to cough out. Together it helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
