Piriton is making dd hyperactive! What else can I use for chickenpox?

[littlelamb]

I'm not saying I want something to knock her out but piriton at bedtime is obviously not a good idea for dd. I have never seen her so hyperactive. I can't work out what ingredient in it could have had that effect on her. Is there something else that she can take that will stop the itching (which so far the Piriton seems to have been great at doing) but without the added floorshow at 11 at night?!

Phenergan can be bought over the counter but it may do the same thing.
Although medised is not for itching it may knock her out enough to stop her being irritated by the itching.

Ds1 haas just got over it and I bought Aloe Vera from health shop which worked well.

When DD had piriton, she was the same, totally stoked.
Eurax cream. It is the stuff of miracles

clarityn?

Try a different brand?

Are you putting baking soda in the bath too?

benadryl
zirtek
phenergan liquid-probably the best thing for lo

on day 5 of my chickenpox and am finding salt water bath the greatest thing.am using a bag of sea salt from tesco.it stings a bit but the relief afterwards is amazing.
sorry i sugested the above anti histamines but dont know if suitable for kids0 except phenergan

have also found a calamine CREAM not lotion which is great- ask in chemist or get in Boots
