Is The Double Dosage Of Piriton Dangerous For A 5 Year Old?
Hello, I have read previous comments so I think everything is fine but I Have just called NHS and they gave me a long list of things I need to look out for to make sure everything is fine so I am still worried sick. I gave my 4.5 year-old son 5ml Piriton instead of 2.5ml. Please can you let me know if it is dangerous? I will be grateful.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
There is no problem by giving 5 ml of piriton syrup instead of 2.5 ml.
At best it will cause some drowsiness.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
