In a word, NO. For one it is for allergies and an anti histamine could cause serious adverse reactions in your child. If you have already used it, call poison control. Go see the doctor when your child has a problem. Their little bodies are not as strong as ours, nor prepared to handle the same sorts of drugs.
You are a good parent for asking advice. If you ever have a question about medications and dosages and reactions, pharmacists are also a good source of information if you are lacking the money to go to the doctor. But patient beware, doctors are trained to see what is wrong and use diagnostic skills the average person does not have. Most doctors will also usually give you a payment plan if there is just no way you have the money... even if it means giving them 5 dollars a week.
Blessings to you for a happy Season.

I'm also a nurse and my advice is the same as the previous poster. You shouldn't give your baby patanol drops unless you doctor says so. If it isn't an allergic conjunctivitis is won't help anyhow. See the info below:

Patanol drops are for allergies, whgich are caused by adverse reactions to harmless histamines. Conjunctivitis is caused by a virus, which is a contagios and harmfull pathogen. Therefore, perscription Patanol drops would not only be illegal (if they were not perscribed to your child) but also useless. There are special drops available just for conjunctivitis; ask your child's doctor.

appears like the *crud* that has been hitting the country everywhere. that is going to in elementary words very last about 7 to ten days. Low grade fevers are not truly some thing to rigidity about except you've reason that there ought to correctly be some type of an infection someplace. If shes no more advantageous suited after the ten days, take her in back and demand on a diagnosis. Be your human being advise. appears like you're doing each and everything accurate although.

Only if his pediatrician ok's it. Never give an RX medicine to anyone unless a doctor says it is ok. You may do more harm than good.
