Baby have sleeping problem
Dear Dr,
We have a 3 week old son. He was sleeping fine. However since yesterday he has been crying a lot and not sleeping well. I took him to an emergency where the pediatrician prescribed phenergan.
I read about the medicine and multiple websites say not give the phenergan to kids less than 2 years old. I am confused whether to give the medicine or not. Also, is there an better medicine. I would be happy to get online appointments and consult.
Thank you

It could be due to several reasons. If the baby is active, feeding well and passing urine and stools will, there is no need to worry.
Could be colicky symptoms, but that also should pass..
For any queries or dosages, kindly book an online consultation with me.
