DD was 5 in June. She's about 18kg so fairly well settled in the middle if the weight bracket. She has a dose of chicken pox that started on Wed/Thurs but we only realised was chicken pox on Friday. She's pretty miserable this evening but so far I've stuck to the 2-5yrs dosage of antihistamine, which is 2x2.5 ml over 24hrs. If she was 6, I could give her 2x5ml doses. Would she turn into sleeping beauty if I gave her an extra 2.5ml during the night if she needed it? I'm a real stickler normally, but she's itchy and miserable and it seems such a big difference in just 7 months...
