Hi - We gave our son a 24 hour dose of Children's Claritin for allergies. We haven't seen any change. How long does it take to have effect? I know that Benadryl is fast acting. How long before I can give him a different allergy med if it doesn't help? I'll talk to his dr in the morning, but wanted to hear personal experiences. Thank you!

Hello mamas, My son has sports induced asthma and has been on Flo-vent to control it. He's also taking Claritin for his allergies/sneezing. He's been on both for about a year and it seems that he's gained a bunch of weight since then. His eating habits have not changed, we don't eat fast food, junk or processed foods, we eat pretty healthy, so I don't think it's his diet I was doing some research online and see that that could be one of the side effects for both meds. I'm going to talk to my doctor to see if we have other options, but...

My son often gets runny nose/cough symptoms and my pediatrician has recommended that I try putting him on Claritin to manage those symptoms. I am reluctant to put him on medicine for prolonged periods of time. Dose anyone have information about any potential harmful effects of long-term use of allergy medicines in toddlers? Also, any suggestions of natural remedies that have worked would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My son, who is almost a year old has been getting colds the past 2 months (he is in daycare). His cold finally cleared but he continues to have a runny nose and cough on and off. There is no fever, he is active and eating as usual. He also started teething 2 weeks ago and his second pair of top teeth are coming in. The teething is really bothering him, he keeps biting everything, even his fingers. As far as I can tell, the medical community does not believe that teething causes runny nose and cough. I'm worried it may be allergies, even...

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has been having this stuffy nose problem for past 3-4 weeks or so. She's not sick and doing well, but her nose is always stuffy. Not runny or have cold symptoms, but I guess something must be bothering her nose. It's not stuffy 24 hours, but she usually has something in her nose that bothers her and sometimes it's hard for me to watch her being so bothered by her stuffy nose. She hates the saline spray, so when I try to use that on her, she panics and gets upset. And even when I do get that in her nose, it...
