Atarax (hydroxyzine) is sometimes prescribed for babies to treat severe itching from skin conditions like eczema or allergic hives. However, giving this medication to a baby every day is generally not recommended unless specifically directed by your pediatrician. Infants are very sensitive to antihistamines, which can cause side effects like excessive drowsiness or, occasionally, excitability. To keep your sweet little one safe, please consult their pediatrician before starting or continuing daily use.
