Hi, my daughter is 8 months old and has seen a dermatologist last week and had a biopsy done of blister like hives that she breaks out in every few days (has done for 3 months now) The biopsy results came back as urticaria over urticaia pigmentosa with 20 mast cells/high power field. She (the doc) has prescribed 2ml of Aerius over the next 2 months and to monitor her outbreaks (hopefully they will stop with the Aerius) I have been giving her 2ml and the doc said if it is making no differnece, to give her double the amount. She has another outbreak today, so should I double the amount given she is so young? that would be 4ml daily?
Urticaria is treated with antihistamines. The dosage for syrup Arius is 1.25 mg/day for child Chat Doctor.  That accounts to3 ml per day. Therefore 4ml spy Arius can be safely given in an 8-month-old child. The side effects of this
