Is It Okay To Give Piriton To A 18 Month Old?
I would like to try my baby daughter with piriton, she is 18 month old and is really croaky all the time. It is not her chest but it seems like her air waves are constantly snotty, I think she has an allergy to the cats or dust ( as I do). The bottle says 6+ but I know mums who have given it! just wanted to check.
