Diagnosed With Urticaia Pigmentosa With 20 Mass Cells/high Power Field

Hi, my daughter is 8 months old and has seen a dermatologist last week and had a biopsy done of blister like hives that she breaks out in every few days (has done for 3 months now) The biopsy results came back as urticaria over urticaia pigmentosa with 20 mast cells/high power field. She (the doc) has prescribed 2ml of Aerius over the next 2 months and to monitor her outbreaks (hopefully they will stop with the Aerius) I have been giving her 2ml and the doc said if it is making no differnece, to give her double the amount. She has another outbreak today, so should I double the amount given she is so young? that would be 4ml daily?

urticaria is treated with antihistaminics. the dosage for syrup aerius is 1.25 mg/day for children 6months to 12 months. that accounts to3 ml per day.
therefore 4ml syp aerius can be safely given in an 8 month old child.
the side effects of this drug are GI upset .
