I do notice that kids ask for Benedryl. For things they shouldn't. Like headaches.

Yes! My little ones want either Tylenol or benedryl for everything. But sometimes the parents are clueless. I had a parent bring me a doctors order for ibuprofen and had a bottle of aspirin with him and he started to argue with me saying that aspirin is "just the generic" and "the same thing".

Or...you can't give this without a DOCTOR'S ORDER?

Why NOT?

Please do not bring the conversation down on a one-on-one personal level. You all know that never ends well.

Please keep to the topic. If someone violates TOS, report as always and if someone irritates the honk outta you, place them on ignore ...

Thanks everyone.

We do warm salt water gargles, but I wouldn't give a child salt water to drink.:no:

That would probably end up being a nifty laxative!

I had a kid drink it... I told them that it was for gargling. Of course, it was a kindergartener but you would think in this school full of minority students, and all of them mainly Hispanic, they would know this trick. But I guess not.

Well. If it's strong, it's effective. That is if you can keep it down. Kind of unpleasant, but not as bad as Mag Citrate. Nevermind how I know.
