A member asked:
I accidentally gave my 8 week old a half teaspoon of hydroxyzine syrup....will this hurt him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Just observe him, it would take up to two days to get out of his system completely, its active metabolite is cetirizine, a rather safer antihistamine, although not recommended routinely for his age. If in doubt/concerned call the poison control center in your state for reassurance, go to your doctor /ER if any worrisome symptoms, wish you both wellness
