There is a use for phenergan as a short term (1 week) pattern breaker
for sleep disturbance or for long haul flights etc. It , of course will
only work alongside parental behaviour changes, but it is a valuable
adjunct.
It also works for urticaria and travel sickness.
I would be have thought most GP parents would have considered using it
at one time or another!
