Benadryl dosage???

[Pixie]

Logan has been on antibiotics for almost three weeks with no changes in his sneezing. I want to try the children's benadryl to see if this helps with his sneezing.

Logan weighs 320 grams. Children's benadryl is 6.25mg/5mL Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride

Not sure how much to give him. Help would be much appreciated.

2mg / kg of HCL

6.25 / 5ml = 1.25 mg / ml

1.25 * 1.6 = 2 mg
1 ml * 1.6 = 1.6 ml
---------------------
so the 2mg exists in 1.6 ml of the liquid, which is 1.6 ml per 1 kg.

Your boy is 0.32 kg.

1.6 * .32 = 0.512 ml

Everyone is spot on.
