Phenergan use on a 7mnth old

[sloane]

Please don't use phenergen on a baby. Go and get a second opinion. It can be dangerous.

I agree. 7 months is very young for that. Ive just had the itchiest rash EVER that the dr thought was viral and he prescribed me a steroid cream and only suggested an over the counter pill (clarityne). Not suggesting that it's by any means the same or should be treated the same but I am sure there are creams that could be used first?

Good luck and I hope your dd gets some relief soon (& you get some sleep)

The chemist lady didn't let me take it home and suggested the bath stuff and antihistamine
I just am second guessing because it hasn't worked and im thinking I should have listened to the doc.
but I have some at home anyway as I use it for my 3 yr old for car sickness.

I would be extremely cautious giving phenergan to a child, particularly a child under 12 months. Phenergan has a side effect of sedation and can cause respiratory depression. As a nurse I am cautious giving phenergen to adults. Try speaking with a pharmacist and a second medical opinion might be a good idea. Hope she feels better soon.

Thank you I will get a second opinion hopefully tomorrow
