the physchiatrist must be consulted for the appropriate dose and type of meds
Reach out to a local psychiatrist who should be able to do an evaluation and then prescribe medication as needed for your child's symptoms of anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can also be very helpful for child anxiety.
Depending on the age of the child, pediatricians or psychiatrists can prescribe a number of different medications. I would recommend consulting with your local physician to determine the best treatment for your child.
Diphenhidramine better known as Children's Benadryl. Also, might and try some of the herbals that contain Valerian, Chamomile and Melatonin to name a few. Please check with child's pediatrician before administration.
