Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 I am sorry to hear your son is still not feeling well..As for the medicine, I don't use triaminic...I use pedicare and I give my son one full dropper plus a fourth..for the children's benadryl at this age, it is 3/4 of a tsp...I have been using the benadryl more since it works better :)If the fever does not break, I would definitely get your son to the doctor on monday since it is going to his chest...I know when my son had the runny nose and wet cough it was an ear infection and believe it or not he was not pulling on his ears nor waking up in the middle of the night...
