Hi! My 7 months old son got allergy reaction he s body is red... We was in surgery and doctor prescribed chlorphenamine maleate but on the box I found info children over 1 year is this safe to give it to my son? Should I give him?
Hello;Thanks for your query. As far as possible any antiallergic like chlorpheneramine should not be used in child below 2 yrs without the doctors' advice. Though in India it is frequently used for allergies, and rhinitis in child Chat Doctor. If given in a proper dose it does not cause any major problem other than sedation. Since it is an allergic reaction it has to be treated, so I would suggest you to consult a Pediatrician before giving medicines. Take care. Thanks
