Claritin or Zyrtec for 8 Year Old?
Do you have preference for one or the other for kids? Claritin I give in the AM; Zyrtec can make you drowsy, so I'd do that PM. Doctor said I could give both in one day, but that seems overkill since both last 24 hours. Pharmacist says no matter what commercials say, it takes about 24 hours for medicine to kick in and work, so take it every day during allergy season, not just when allergies are acting up. I kind of hate to be pumping meds in a child daily, but I guess if it's just for a season...And if I'm going to do this, I wondered if...
