What can I give my puppy for allergies, he is 11 weeks old?

he got the flu 3 week ago for 3 days and after that he kept sneezing sometimes and at night time he gets stuffy nose.
Answers:
DO NOT ASSUME THAT IT IS "ALLERGIES"!

Dogs do not get what humans call flu - they get a similar but different virus and he should have been vaccinated at least once for it before he was 9 weeks old.

Do NOT give such a tiny puppy anything. Yu can very easily kill them

Have you taken his tempature??

Do you know what the sympoms are for different canine illnesses?

TAKE HIM TO THE VET
a half a benadryl. it will make him tired but it will help with the allergies
go to a vet. Is better
This may not be allergies, he could have kennell cough or something else - time for a vet visit.
Check with your vet, the dosage of Benadryl is dependent on your puppy's weight and the strength of the Benadryl.
I doubt this is allergies (dogs typically exhibit allergies through skin or stomach irritations/infections)and dont treat self diagnosed illensses with medication. Also you want to be careful medicatiing a young puppy.
This is definitely not allergies. The puppy needs to go to the vet ASAP
You can give a dog benadyal it is a milligram per pound.
