Dr prescribed Piriton for Eczema???
in Baby
Has anyone else had this? Kyra was 7 months when the Dr gave me Piriton (antihistamine) for her itchy eczema aswell as the usual hydrocortisone and emollient stuff. She said to give it to her at night before bed because of the drowsiness effects. However, it says on the box 'suitable for 1 year and above.'
He skin has been quite itchy for her lately, especially at night, but would it be ok if it's for 1 year and over? xox

I think it's not too uncommon for them to try it, and I did find it took a good two weeks for it to help but then you can't stop using it or they have huge break outs. I felt so bad though for dd as she breaks out really bad, and it has done well to help with controlling it
Good luck to poor little Kyra, eczema is really unfair
