Can you give Benadryl to a 4-month-old baby who seems to be reacting to a new laundry soap?

Hello Ma'am,

Yes, we can, but we do it as infrequently as possible.

In other words, we can consider giving it to her if the reaction has gotten worse again this morning. If not, we can just wait it out.

If we have to give a dose of Benadryl™, we aim for a dose of 1 mg per kilo. I encourage you to call your pharmacist to have the exact dose calculated based on the child's weight and the concentration of the product you have at home.

Happy day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
