Is There Any Side Effect For Benadryl, Amoxicillin And Tylenol In 2 Year Old?
is it safe for 2 yr old to take Benadryl and amoxicillin at the same time? and also Tylenol if fevered? she has a bad cough, tight chest and runny nose.I just gave her Tylenol and Benadryl which her doc said it was fine but have to start her on her amoxicillin tonight just need to know if its ok or should I wait a bit?..
Thanks for putting your query up at HealthCareMagic. I understand the cause of concern. Let me mention that the tolerated but common side effect of anti-allergics like Benadryl is sleepiness. Amoxycillin is an antibiotic and while killing the bad bugs it also eliminates the good bacteria that reside in our bowels. As a result sometimes mild diarrhoea or signs of vitamin B deficiency may occur. It can be overcome by giving curd/yogurt which contain lactobacilli. Prebiotics and probiotics (available in brand names like Vizylac, enterogermina) can also be give. Tylenol is a very safe drug. Let me tell you that these are very frequently used and safe drugs and you need not worry about serious side effects when giving these drugs.
I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back with further queries if any.
