Accepted Answer

The drops are safe and are not known to have side effects

Question 2

My baby is 2 months old and he has cold.is it ok to give him fenistil drops?

Accepted Answer

We don't use cold medications or antihistamines (like Fenistil) in young babies. For moderate (or worse) symptoms in a 2 month-old such as coughing, crying, or runny nose, the baby's doctor or the emergency room needs to see the baby. Two months is very young, and such babies need to have their illnesses evaluated unless symptoms are very mild. If very mild, one can talk with the doctor by phone.

Question 3

25 drops of fenistil drops for  6 months baby  ....is it safe?

the drug is safe for a six month old, the range of daily dose for infants is 0-30 drops per day, check the package insert and follow directions. Read also to familiarize yourself with side-effects - GI complaints, dehydration, etc.

Question 5

Can i use anti histamine fenistil gel (dimethindene maleate) for a bite while i'm in very early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Most antihistamines are considered safe for pregnancy (Category B) nowadays although I am not familiar with the product you are using. I do not expect any measurable absorption from the topical application of an antihistamine on the skin and thus it would be extremely unlikely that even if a trace of it gets to the fetus. A hydrocortisone cream would work better on an itchy insect bite.

Question 6

My 11 month baby had cold before 2 days n still hav runy nose the doctor gave her 9 drops of fenistil  twice daily for 5 days is it safe to give her?

Accepted Answer

In the US we believe the use of such antihistamine products in infants is often unnecessary and potentially harmful. While possibly safe, one effect is thickening secretions/drainage.This can lead to narrowing of their nasal airway and more work of breathing. I haven't used such products in that age for decades. It does give you something to do, which is the only value some see in it.

Question 7

My son is 1 months and he has cough , what should i do is there any treatment  ? can i use fenistil drop or let him naturally recover?

Accepted Answer

A cough at that age is usually due to exposure to dust/fumes/perfume/ or other such irritants in the air of their environment. Nasal washout with saline drops & suction helps most. Removing any obvious airborne irritants also helps.

Question 8

My son is 3 months he is suffering cold ,is fenistil drop can we used ?

Accepted Answer

I do not think this antihistamine drug is helpful in common cold.

Question 9

Is it ok to give my 39 day baby fenistil dropps and for how long becausd she dont sleep at all?

Accepted Answer

I would not use the allergy drops.   Babies sometimes take a long time to adapt to sleep routines.   Here are some tips:   Let baby sleep in their own room, use a white noise such as a humidifier, keep the room dark, give a calming bath before bed, try not to let the bottle or breast out the baby to sleep.  Feed more often in the day.  Don't over feed before bed.   Some crying is okay.  good luck.

Question 10

The doctor give me this medicine for my baby 6 month how suffering from eczema the alergosone and neoday & primalan and fenistil please advise ?

Accepted Answer

Alergosone (beta methasone) is usually too potent for a baby. It is a cortisone which will help eczema, but should soon be changed to a less potent alternative. Neoday, Primalan, and Fenistil are all antihistamines. Why use 3 of the same type med??????? NO ANTIHISTAMINE IS USEFUL FOR ECZEMA, especially a baby. I suggest you stop all 3 at once. If you can, you should see a dermatologist.
