Brief Answer:
Phenergan is not licensed to be used in this age - instead Triclofos
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Phenergan is not licensed to be use in this age as the safety standards have not been established.
Instead you may consider using Triclofos...but it is a prescription drug and you will need one for it.
