Is It Dangerous To Give Piriton Tablet Dissolved In Water To A Child?
Hi, we have problem getting our 4 month old daughter sleep at night in the right time. She has allergies, and we have given her medications for that. I want to ask, how dangerous is it to give her a very tiny portion of piriton tablet that's dissolved in water?

Hi... I advise you not to do it. It is chlorpheneramine and it does make kid sleep because sleepiness is its side effect, but it is not recommended in this age group or licensed for.
