Just recently my DD (10 months) came out in a severe rash caused by a food allergy. The doctor said phenergan is not recommended in children under 2 but is safe in the small dose she was prescribing my DD to help manage the allergy. When I went to the pharmacist to get it he was hesitant in giving it to me and was suspicious. At this stage I didn't know why. I showed him DDs rash and he agreed to give it. He said phenergan can make babies extremely hyperactive which result in seizures....

By now I was reluctant to give it so I gave DD a half dose and watched her like a hawk. It was a scary night to say the least. It amazes me that mums and dads just give this stuff willy nilly without much thought as to what it can actually do.
