  We have, we did 1/2 teaspoon. We used it because Elle had a bunch of inflamed mosquito bites, it seemed to help.

  All the time for allergies (almost daily) It does help the mucous, too. We use it for hives but when she has a cold, like now, it's doubly good! I hope he feels better. Get the dye free one if you haven't bought it yet - hate red stains all over when she drools straight after taking it!

  We have for bug bites (extreme swelling & itching). Another time for poison ivy (Abby made a bouquet of flowers with it, doh!). My pedi warned that it could make them drowsy or wired.
  
  It relieved the itching but it made both kids into wired, pissy messes. I haven't done it since. That was torture.

  We did when isaac turned out to be allergic to penicillin. we used less than a half teaspoon. I like a little bit less than that because I'm paranoid. 5ml is a teaspoon and the regular dose for a six year old so I usually only give about 1.25ml. It's helped.

  We have not used Benedryl for excessive mucous, but we use it at least once a month to treat food sensitivities/allergies (hives, swollen lips/tongue). It seems like she is starting to outgrow some reactions, though. She can finally eat apples, blueberries, strawberries, and pears! :-bd

  Thanks everyone. We tried a half dose last night and I think it was helpful.
