Good Evening, I have an almost 7 yr old son who is congested tonight. I don t have a liquid decongestant that I d normally give him but I do have a 10 mg tablet of Phenylephrine HCI .... hes 66 lbs and I think he can take the pill as it s very small. I never give him anything for adults but hes frustrated not being able to breathe. thanks for your advice!
