Well, it's depends how old is your child? What type of symptoms they have, Does your child has any chronic that might prevent you from giving them OTC medication. I will suggest to reach out to your primary care or to our office for further management.
Greetings Yes u sure may give children allergy medications as long as they are 2 yr old and older. Especially in the case of benadryl, because its too drowsy in younger children. Best meds loratadine, Zyrtec. Although always best to identify reason for allergies, and follow up with pediatrician.
Depends on the age. Claritin is safe for those 2 years and up, Zyrtec is safe for those 6 years and up. Check package instructions for dose recommendations
