Can i give my 2 year old daughter malox and benadryl (diphenhydramine) mixed for mouth sores cause of hand foot and mouth? she weighs 29 pounds.

Yes : I mix half & half and either have the kid swish & spit it out or paint the mix on the sore with a fluffy q-tip. It doesn't hurt if the kid swallows some & if so i limit volume to 5ml every 4hr. You can sometimes get similar benefit from ice chips.

I would not: To get the exact answer, check with your local pharmacist and he can calculate what dosage would be correct, if any, for your daughter as per her age and weight.
