What is the proper children Benadryl dosing?

Answer by  whoareyou (3483)

You should always consult your family doctor before giving a child any kind of medication. Typically, half to one benadryl is plenty. Break the pill in half and start with one half, then the other if needed in 30 min. Also, use children's Benadryl, and try to use the liquid instead of the pill form.

A good rule of thumb is that if a certain medication is appropriate to be given to children, it will include dosing instructions. Stick to something kid-safe.
