Suggest Remedy For Sting By Wasp

My 6 year old daughter has been stung by a wasp and has suffered an allergic reaction. She was stung on her forehead, and her eyes and nose are now very swollen. GP has prescribed prednisolone in a low dosage. Is it OK to give her piriton syrup alongside?

Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your daughter's history and I would like to suggest you as follows:

Piriton contains chlorpheniramine, which is an antihistamine.

So if you have not been suggested any other drug apart from prednisolone, personally I would add an antihistamine (like Piriton) in her treatment as it may hasten the recovery.

However, as she is a child, please be sure about right dose for which depends on her weight.

Hope above answer will be useful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish your daughter a quick recovery and the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
