I wouldn't try it all. I gave it to my daughter for an itch and it sent her over the roof. And it warns on the bottle that it may cause excitability in small children. The warning is mild.
My daughter is 14 yrs old, I could try melatonin. Thanks for your help!
Try a small dose of melatonin if your doc thinks it is ok. It works wonders for me.
I am assuming you are doing the usual things like quiet activities before bed, lite snack with protein, story time, and bed time limits.
How long would be too long to be taking it? What other solutions would you recommend for the sleep problem.
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an anxiolytic and tends to sedate children, and it is not unusual to see it employed as a short-term remedy. However, it is not a good idea to use it for a protracted period of time.
