Suggest Dosage Of Benedryl For Rashes On Back Of Hands And Elbows
My son has a raised rash on the backs of each hand and elbows, which he has had since yesterday. He has had a similar rash many times before when playing in grass. He has been playing soccer on grass turf all week. My husband gave him one loratadine (active ingredient - 10 mg) tablet 2 hours ago because he could not find benedryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) at the time. I have the benedryl, can he take some now (2-4 tablets - 12.5 mg). If yes, how much? If no, when can he take benedryl.

Hi,
If your son has already taken Loratadine you should not give Benadryl on the same day. You can give Benadryl tomorrow. You can use Calamine Lotion for local relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
