Benadryl to a 1 Year Old?

My husband and I are in a battle over benadryl. Our daughter has hand foot and mouth and she cannot sleep due to the mouth sores and sore throat and overall aches and stuff that comes along with the disease. He says we should let her get a good night sleep and give her some benadryl. I SAY NO. We first of all do not even know how much to give her because kids arent supposed to have it until they are 6!! He also says when we go to Hawaii in June we should give her some to help her sleep the flight away. I totally disagree. Have any of you...

Benadryl for Travel?

This may sound awful so I am asking for some feedback on this subject. I have a very wiggly 14 month old who can not sit still for 1 minute and we are going on a four hour flight mid day. I was told by some friends that benadryl has been a life saver on some flights. Does anyone have any positive or negative experience with this? Please do not post any judgements if you haven't done this yourself. Thanks!

Seeking Thoughts on Recent Acne Breakout and Eye Rubbing in 13 Month Old

In the past few days, my 13 month old daughter has had a bad outbreak of acne on her face. She hasn't really had this problem since she was just a few months old.....and that I chalked up to "sensitve newborn skin". Now every morning it seems she is waking up with new pimples or red spots on her face and we have no idea why. We haven't changed her diet or soaps or lotions. I don't use wet wipes on her face at all. Then tonight, I noticed that she was rubbing her eyes constantly and while the whites of the eyes aren't red, her lids are...

Infant and Benadryl

My 8 month old son weighs 16 pounds, 12 ounces and his doctor prescribed 1/2 teaspoon of Benadryl before bedtime. Everything I read says not to do it unless they are a year old. I'm afraid to give him the Benadryl. Has anyone given their child who is under a year old Benadryl?

Do I Really Need to Take These Steriods?

Clearly Im not a medical professional and I have no idea what Im doing, but I was on the Zpac for bronchitis and it made my body swell up and hives everywhere. I had to go to the hospital today and got a huge benadryl shot in my bum and they have me a steriod pill. The sent me home with a script for benadryl and the steriods that I havent picked up yet. Im going to have to go get it because I guess the benadryl wore off and Im getting really itchy again. So, I really dont want to take the steriods. Could I just take the benadryl? I...

Cold, Runny Nose Advice

My 18 month old has her first cold. She has a runny nose, and drainage that made her gag and throw up a little last night. I could hear that she has a lot of drainage and was having trouble breathing through her nose. I have been SO very lucky that she has been a very healthy child. She just started in a Mother's Day Out program, so I am sure she'll begin to pick up more germs. Can anyone give me advice on alleviating cold symptoms and what to watch for, in terms of this moving to an ear infection? Should I use the humidifier? Vapor rub?...

Son Wakes with Stuffy Nose

My son who is 14 months old usually wakes earlier in the morning than usual (6 am) with a stuffy nose. Once he is up he wakes up completely after his nose has been cleaned out. Rarely he will not have a stuffy nose in the early morning and sleep until 7. His schedule gets all off waking up an hour earlier (he'll take 2 naps and then go to bed late), plus I would love to have that extra hour of sleep. I've tried everything from humidifier to vaporizer and it still never fails in the early morning hours he gets such a congested nose he wakes...

Red, Swollen and Itchy Right Ear

Hello everyone, I have a 5yr old son who woke up this morning with his right ear red, swollen, and itchy. He said it does not hurt and it is only on the outside from the top to almost to the earlobe. I thought it was a bug bite of some kind but I can't see a place where it would've bitten him. He has not had an ear infection ever. I was just wondering what it could be. I am putting Benadryl on it. He doesn't complain at all. He just says mommy why is my ear fat? lol Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you all very much!!

Hand Foot Mouth Disease

Hi Ladies, I just took my 19 month old daughter to the pediatrician this morning to try to figure out what this rash was that was breaking out on the palms of her hands and soles of her feet. I had looked up Hand Foot Mouth Disease online prior to taking her in and it sounded similar but the photos looked different. The pediatrician said that it was most likely Hand Foot Mouth Disease even though it didn't look like the classic case. He said that there is really nothing that we can do about it and that we just have to ride it out. I am...

Is It Eczema?

My 7 month old has been having these dry, rough pinkish places come up like on his arm in the inside crease of his elbow and on his face. I know he suffers from allergies, he is so stuffy more so at night, and since allergies and eczema go hand in hand thats what i think it is. should i take him to his pediatrician or an allergy specialist for diagnosis?? our pcp is so vague she may just say "yeah it Could be" and that be it. And if it is eczema how do you treat a baby?? thanks moms:)

Rash on Stomach and Back

Hi Moms, I noticed a rash on my daughters stomach and back on Saturday. It seems to come and go because sometimes I really notice it and then other times I think it is gone. She has had no fever or any other symptoms. It doesn't itch or bother her. I hate to take her in to the doc and have her be around other sicknesses but I don't want her to have something and me not know. When should I call the doc? My husband says it could be a heat rash because she has been under lots of covers this weekend with it getting so cold at night. ...
