Greetings
Your hesitation is completely understandable, as Avomine requires strict caution.Modern global guidelines advise avoiding promethazine in children under five.It carries risks of severe drowsiness, respiratory depression, and behavioral changes.Furthermore, accurately splitting a 25 mg tablet for a toddler is highly imprecise.Liquid medications or safer alternative antiemetics are typically preferred for this age.
