Question: Hello Doctor,
My niece is 1.2 yrs old, she has some kind of allergy on her skin and also gets running nose and prone to sneezing after every climate change. The skin allergy is seen very often on her. Her Pediatrician has prescribed her "CYP-L 15 ml" ten drops twice a day. after giving the medicine she slept for complete 12 hrs and after getting up for her sleep she was hardly awake for 3-4 hrs and the slept for another 3 three hours again. She doesn't sleep this much normally. Should we be continuing giving her the drug or stop? we are worried.
