Hi, Just wondering if anyone has ever used Childrens Vicks Nyquil with their pa/tna children. I had posted earlier about a rash that my dd has developed on her face and haven't been able to link it to a food source. I have given her this product in the last couple of days, we had used it in the past.
Thanks, Gilli

Hi Gilli,
I was wondering if you were giving the Nyquil to help with cough, or fever, or running nose,etc?
I had read recently that doctors are advising against cough medicines and recommending antihistamines - such as Benedryl, to help make a child with a cold more comfortable.

Or google: "cough medicine", children, antihistamine.
Just in case you think that you might not need the Nyquil and can get by on something like good old Benedryl which we all have experience with.
Hi, I was using it as something to stop the cough/runny nose. I have recently heard about the use of an antihistamine being the best alternative, but I happened to have this in the cupboard and being at the end of my wits with weeks of sick kids, gave it a try. I have used the Nyquil in the past and don't remember a rash. I'm trying to link this rash to something, I think it will make me feel better if I can attribute it to something...preferably not nut related!
Thanks for your help, Gilli

If it is a red, flat rash, you might want to have a doc take a look... it is a hallmark sign of a systemic Strep infection.... [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/frown.gif[/img]
I don't want to alarm you, but that definitely needs antibiotics and isn't something you want to let go for long... it can potentially cause heart valve damage over time.
Hi Corvallis Mom.
The rash is flat, red small spots around her mouth and a bit on her other parts of her face. Thanks for the advice, I'll to take her to walk-ins at the clinic tomorrow.
Cheers, Gilli
