prickly heat in a 2 year old. What do I ask for in a French pharmacy?

[missblythe]

DD, 2.4, has rampant prickly heat, and we're in teh South of France.

Am thinking I need an antihitamine syrup, plus a cream, but don't know what to ask for.

Have tried to get something for my own prickly heat here in the past and been fobbed off with a weird zinc based cream that seemed to make it itchier, so I would ideally like to have something specific to ask for.

Any thoughts?

Put her in a cool bath and leave her there for a good long time

Thanks. Will pop her in teh bath when she gets up from her sleep

Puis-je avoir une bouteille de sirop antihistaminique s?il vous plaît?

I think!

merci beaucoup, Madame! Will let you know how I get on!

Anything with aloe vera will help

Thanks Magnolia. Will try anything to stop my little bug itching.

Had much success with your sentence Madame, think the lady was v. impressed. Things got a little hairy when she started asking for DD weight in kilos, but we got there in the end!
