My yr old is getting night terrors..so my doc has suggested a sedative which is not harmful..but im skeptical of giving it...pls suggest

Sedative is not good for the child. Choose calming activities to relax your toddler for the night, such as a bath, followed by a story and a soothing lullaby. Make sure you do the same things at the same time every night so he knows what to expect. You should also consult a chid specialist.
