How much periton do you give your child?

[chloesmumtoo]

Silly question I know but for a long time I gave dd 5ml spoon of periton per4-6hrs. It said 5ml spoon on doctors lable so I just always gave it. Now I worry as I have done so for as long as I can remember. Recently dawned on me that that measurement was incase she had a anaphylactic reaction, the reason why I had been given it to begin with but I have regulary given it for her itchy eczema aswell. What do you give? I am right to only give 2.5ml for her normally and not 5ml. I spoke to my dermatologist and she acted like only 2.5ml but it then doesnt seem to do anything. Just thought I'd double check to see what you all give. I know it says 2.5ml on the bottle

How old is dd?

I give ds anything between 2.5 ml and 10ml and hes only 2.6 the consultant was the one who okayed giving him 10 ml.

I give 2.5ml for mild itching and the other day when he was bordering on needing his epi-pen I gave him 10 ml in seperate doses ie 5ml straight away then two extra doses of 2.5ml.

dd is 5 now.
