I called the pharmacy; we're going to Benadryl things up over here. <br /><br />And I will talk with our pediatrician about the hives (barring another outbreak) at his 18 month appointment, which we already have scheduled. I'm still kinda hoping this was a fluke of sorts.

Maybe we should just ask if we can move in... ;)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-58490460142831929162013-11-19T22:03:56.239-05:002013-11-19T22:03:56.239-05:00I agree, I've got some pretty nasty allergies ...I agree, I've got some pretty nasty allergies that almost always end in hives, and they often won't go away without benadryl, if you could find someone to talk to about dosage I would. I know with George when she was very sick, they took into account her age, not just size. And she's tiny, only 20lbs at 2 years.<br />Also, when I've got hives as bad as your wee one, I use gold bond. Hurts like a bugger for a minute or two, then really really helps with the itching. the Voidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769711214027758293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-49441096846733586032013-11-19T21:48:30.790-05:002013-11-19T21:48:30.790-05:00I would talk to your pediatrician but we gave Bena...I would talk to your pediatrician but we gave Benadryl ALL the time in the pediatric ER to all ages. It is 1.25mg/kg of weight. If you call the nurse or the pharmacist though they would be able to give you their recommendation. I feel pretty comfortable giving my kids most medications. Hives are terrible uncomfortable. Also a pediatric allergist would be able to test him for all sorts of allergies so you wouldn't just have to suffer until you realized what it was.

It is much less hunky for the tub and seemed to get the magic of the oatmeal where we needed it better. I sure hope he gets lots better soon! That looks miserable! (My phone won't let me go back and change hunky to gunky but that's what I meant. :) )Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16105526493466364328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-47237890194656868912013-11-19T18:11:16.335-05:002013-11-19T18:11:16.335-05:00That is such an Andrew look - wow!

I asked the pharmacist and she told me the correct dosage for my nephew when he needed antihistamine. But maybe because Benjamin is even younger that's not an option. You'd think there would be something to help a little one with an allergic reaction. Poor baby. Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.com
