philamom Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Does anyone continue benadryl for a few days after IVIG? If so, how many days? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeskneesmommy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 We did not cont. benedryl, but we did continue Zofran (antinausea), and alternating Tylenol/Ibuprofen round the clock for 3 days post IVig. It helped a lot w/Side effects. Dr. Latimer told us we could cont. Benedryl if needed for sleep, regular dose. The Zofran made him groggy enough.

nicklemama Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Benadryl was given pre IVIG infusion on both days. Solumedrol was injected into the IV port as the last of the saline bag was going into DS on the last day, after the Ig bag was empty. We did not give additional benadryl for either IVIG's. We did give motrin post IVIG for headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
