benadryl for pain..long term

[Guest guest]

Hey! I posted this on the other list I am on and I just wanted to ask you all

the same. Does anyone know if there are any long term side effects to using

benadryl (one dose at bedtime daily) in a child under two? The pharmacist I

talked to said they don't recommend it because it usually doesn't work, but that

was for sinus symptoms. Marlee's pcp has ordered it for pain and muslce spasms

and it seems to be working, but I don't want to get her " hooked " on something

that might cause later problems!

Mom to Marlee 16 mos. Lipomyelomeningocele, TSC

AFO's, and the longest eyelashes I have ever

seen! Also Mom to Macy 4 (fatty filum)..the

future's first female president and 9

a good student, cheerleader and the best

helper in the world! : 0 )

nightly for over 2 yrs without a problem.In emilys case it got to

where it didnt make her sleepy anymore.

!

Thanks for the reply....i was kind of thinking along those lines....that maybe

it was somewhat addictive, but it is better than a narcotic I am sure! ha ha!
