dc 5y has it on the soles of both feet.
been to chemist and have bought a spray as the creams all say 'not licenced for use in children'.
dh and I both had bad reactions (bad wheezing for a while, had to use my asthma inhaler) after applying the spray as per instruction.

I know 'not licenced for use in children' doesn't usually mean it's unsafe, just that there is no licence. but where can I find out if I can use lamisil or another cream?
