3 Week Baby, Fever And Pain. Diagnosed With G6PD. What Type Of Medicine Will Help?
Hello,

I see that Tylenol is listed as a low risk drug, also suppose he has a minor reaction to a bee sting in his toddler stages what can he get for allergic rfeaction because benadryl is also listed?
Thank you!

hi
thanks for your quiry
its good to see that you do consult a list of drugs which are prohibited in this disease
this disease will not cause any problem untill you administer those drugs
is your child diabetic?
do take care and have adequate measues to protect him from mosquitoes
safer option is paracetamol in lower dose
wishing you a speedy recovery
