A member asked:
Hello doctors, could a 2-year old, weighing +25lbs, take benadryl-d for relief from congestion and phlegm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better not: as it isn't approved for that age, you may want to use cetirizine (zyrtec) OTC instead, with caution too. If symptoms are bothersome / not improving take your child to the pediatrician, best wishes
