Is it safe to give my 2 year old prohist syrup. if it is what would the reccomended dosage be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consider "none": These used to be given out routinely as prescription meds before they became over the counter. Now we don't recommend them at all under 6 if at all. So many kids ended up in ER's with overdoses that they took a look at the benefit/risk analysis.If you just want to be doing something, it can be done, but studies show no true benefit under 6.
