Very, very few and only under a veterinarian's supervision and instruction. Dogs are not little humans and they can and do react very differently to human medications. Over-the-counter pain medications (Tylenol, Advil, aspirin, Aleve, etc.) are particularly dangerous to dogs as just one pill can cause a stomach ulcer and severe internal bleeding in dogs.

If you suspect your dog has a medical condition, the best option is to take your dog to a veterinarian and have the vet prescribe the appropriate medication. Unless you are a veterinarian yourself, you may be entirely wrong about what is happening to your dog and trying to fix the wrong problem at home with the wrong medications.

It kind of depends on your dog's symptoms, you would have to check with your vet. I know for a fact dogs can have Benadryl, but I wouldn't give it much.
