Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
May a fit and healthy, developmentally normal eight month old baby be given Piriton Syrup for a four month persisting facial rash, please. His GP prescribes hydrocotisone cream BD which seems to do little to stop the itching. He now has very little milk: There are no animals in the household and he also produces large (1cm) urticarial type weals on his back. He actually has to be restrained from scratching his skin off. He has to wait another 6/52 to see a dermatologist. thank you for your help.
Hi dear, I understand your concern. Piriton is Chlorophenamine. It is antihistamine, which is very helpful for allergy.Don't worry it is safe,just give before sleep, because it can give sleepiness.Avoid consumption of allergens. Add some probiotics -babylac for normal flora and Enzymes syrup for better digestion. You can discuss it with your treating doctor
