Hi,
The Allergex pill you are speaking of is 20 mg pill. Do not give full pill to the baby. You should crush a pill in powder, take 1/5th part of it and give it mixed with honey, a single dose. You can get the syrup tomorrow to be started 12 hours after the pill dose. If you find her to be breathless / rash increases, spreads to mouth cavity or eyes. Baby needs injectable. Take her to doctor in that case.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
