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?

We do warm salt water gargles, but I wouldn't give a child salt water to drink.
That would probably end up being a nifty laxative!

Oral saline rinses used to be common for dental extractions. Isotonic strength.

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.
