Top Questions and Answers

Does anyone have their kids on Claritin for allergies? If so, does it help with congestion. MY son is usually going to the doctor once a month or two. My old doctor suggested for him to take it a few years ago when he was 3, but I think we tried it for a week, with no results. My son just get really congested when he wakes up, and while he is laying down in bed. You can here all the congestion when he coughs. I had bad allergies as a kid, so I am sure he does to. Does Clartin take awhile before you start to see an improvement?

Carlee replied: "i would say in a week he should have started to notice some improvement. if he hasn't tried zyrtec yet, maybe try it. it's over the counter and safe for children, just make sure you give it before bedtime because it can cause drowsiness. it could be dust allergies he is suffering from, it would make sense because the bedroom is where we spend most of our time and bedrooms usually never get cleaned like other parts of the house. just the bedding alone contains tons of dust particles. they have allergen mattress covers and pillow covers that help. also air purifiers in the bedroom with HEPA filters are very effective at reducing allergens."

eek replied: "Claritin-D (decogestant) is great. Zyrtec makes me sleepy! Also try a nettie pot. It's the best thing ever (but oh, I see he's 3 years old only....so maybe use nasal spray and keep the nettie pot in mind for when he's older)"

Does Claritin Clear for adults and kids really work? I am 13 and I can't stand my allergies. it's just seasonal spring & fall allergies.

kim d replied: "don't know about clartin clear.but clartin d works great.i take it also works on kids good.i have asthma,sinus.and allergies i take it and feel great and have no worries about not feeling well."

cooker_upper1 replied: "Get away from the medication! Start taking LOCAL honey-a teaspoon a day. The honey works NATURALLY with your body to build up an immunity to all local air born irritants -pollen, dust, smog, pet dander, etc. The over the counter medications dry you up. This leads, over time, to a build up of dried mucus in the sinuses. You will find that this condition will lead to infections. Make sure you are not blowing your nose too hard as you will create lesions in the sinus cavities which will be prone to infection as well. Try LOCAL honey for a couple of months and notice that you do not have allergies any more and also, you will not get the flu or many colds in the winter, as well."

How can i stop a 1 year stuffy nose? I'm only 11 years old and I've had a stuffy nose for 1 year. I've used Zyrtec Allergy for kids and Vick Rub. They still don't help. I haven't gone to the Pediatrician. My mom thinks about buying me Claritin for kids. So please help me!

~MiKelli~ replied: "You need to go to the doctor. But in absence of that try afrin nasal spray. I'm sure your probably old enough for that"

Dismal River Frank replied: "If you've had it for a year, then it's time to go to your doctor and get it checked out."

I ran out of adult Claritin. Can I take children's and if so how much? I only weigh 105lbs.? I ran out of my Claritin, but I have some for my kids. Also it's unopened, but may be 3 years old. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. I just realized it is opened and expired in feb. 2007. is it safe? thanks.

reinders1 replied: "Check how many milligrams of the active ingredient there are in yours compared to the child dose. I suspect the child dose is 1/2 the adult dose. If that's the case take two of the child dose. If it's 3 years old it will probably work but at a reduced effectiveness."

KY Physician replied: "the adult dose is 10mg. see what the childrens dose per tablet is and adjust accordingly. expired meds are generally not dangerous but may not be as effective."

Antihistamines for kids under six? I have been hearing that the FDA is starting to recommend refraining from giving children under two cold and cough medicine. The article in our newspaper also mentioned something about antihistamines for kids under six but the wording was unclear. It was unclear whether they want us to refrain from giving antihistamines that list "consult a doctor" under the dosage for under six or avoid antihistamines for kids under six alltogether. What does the FDA have to say about antihistamines such as children's Claritin that do have dosages for kids 2-6? Is it safe to give to my four-year-old according to them?

W W D replied: "There's no gripe about Claritin for allergies. The problem is with sedating antihistamines used for colds. One of the most popular of the combinations, for instance, is Dimetapp. Several studies have all come to the same conclusion about the use of Dimetapp in small children: it makes the kids sleep more, but doesn't do anything about the cold symptoms. One might as well fix the kids a cocktail; that way, the parents could drink, too, and everybody would get a better night's sleep. Most parents might look askance at the idea of vodka in the sippy cup, but there's no real difference other than a quasi-medical cover."

Whats a good allergy medicine for children? my son has seasonal allergies basically its watery, red itchy eyes hes had it since he was born and nothing seems to work. doctors only give him eye drops. So i tried Claritin for kids and it works but if he doesnt take it for a day all the symptoms come back.

kmsoccergurl95 replied: "CLARITIN CLEAR FOR KIDS!! <--- that stuff works!! "

ladyblackboots replied: "if it is hayfever I hear the best thing is to get him to eat some LOCAL honey. This means it has to be from a local bee farm. Try a health food shop. I've been told this really works. Worth a try and a darn sight cheaper than these tablets!"

DollyLama replied: "Benadryl maybe, Claritin worked on my son also, his allergies are more in the fall, it's a shame it is available OTC now, because the price went up about 500%."

Josh S replied: "Claritin - my daughter takes the children's version and it seems to be helping her sleep better and be a bit more clear during the day."

shanta3106 replied: "SINGULAIR"

xawboo replied: "If you would like to build up his immune system so that his own body will not react to allergens, try acidophilus. It comes in pill form and also liquid. Some of the liquids are fruit flavored and yummy, but I even like the unflavored. This is a slow acting process as the immune system gets built up. I understand that if you start using it now, you will have relief by next allergy season. He might want to use it longterm then stop in a few years to see if his symptoms return. For allergy season have Activated Quercetin on hand. This is a nutritional suppliment and should be available in a good health food store or online. I have much empathy for your son as I used to be an allergy sufferer myself and it is surely no picnic! Oh, and be sure he is getting lots of fresh water too."

Richard D replied: "I had two kids that are chronic allergies suffers and every time i have to treat them like if they were asthmatics, they start sneezing, watery eyes ,etc. First thing I did was eliminate cow's milk and give them Soy milk, Second I start giving them Tranfer Factor from 4life research, and they has'nt had any episode for the past 4 months, They were ussed to take Singulair, Flonase, Claritin, etc. If you want to treat your child allergies, believe me you should try this. Has no side Effects. If need further information you can send me an email."

wildcat03820 replied: "My daughter uses pre ion Zyrtec. It works really well."

Courtney B replied: "I take Claritin daily for my allergies. Your son can probably take the children's formula daily during allergy season (or year-round if his allergies occur all the time). I found that if I miss a day, my symptoms come back as well. Talk to your son's doctor about Claritin."

How do I get my 3 & 2 year olds to take their nasty liquid medicine? My kids are both on claritin liquid. They're supposed to take a tsp. each at night before bed. I can't get them to take the medicine. When I try to force them to take it they both spit it everywhere. I actually tried it to see how bad it was and it's disgusting, so I really can't blame them. They both need to take it though because they have really bad allergies.

ft402003 replied: "mix it in a small amount of apple sauce or a fruit based sauce they like.. use only small amount of both so you know they have taken the whole amount, but make sure you use enough of the sauce to cover up the taste of the medicine"

JWZ replied: "put water right by their mouth and once they swallow it the water will wash the taste down. tip give them a treat if they're good"

alocurto215 replied: "Promise them some kind of treat if they take the medicine, like there favorite snack, or something that they would want but not normally get otherwise"

hailsumsky replied: "I also have a 3 & 2 year old. I mix it in with some fruit juice, just a little so that they don't taste it. I do not let them know that I do this."

Gen replied: "put it in their beverage it does help at least u knw they still taking it but diluted better then not taking it really.."

Jan replied: "My little sister has the same problem (as in, she will not take liquid medicine or vitamins). We tried the juice trick, the promising trick, and all the tricks there could be out there. My sister can taste the medicine even if it is in the juice, she'll take a tiny sip and refuse to drink anymore. So what I have to do, is get on top of her, and not let her move her arms or legs. I don't put all my weight on her or anything, just enough so that she cannot move. Then I pinch her nose, she'll open her mouth, and take the medicine/vitamins whether she wants to or not. Yeah, it makes her mad, but hey, if she needs it, we have to do what we have to do. And NO I do not hurt her in any way."

schmushe replied: "you could use a syringe, or bargin with them (not bribe) if they take the medicine they can have a biscuit.... put it in a bit of apple sauce / milk"

julsbabe84 replied: "get something that has lots of flavor that they like(any strong liquid or food i.e.grape flavored drink, tacos, barbequed anything) and have them take a bite/drink right before and have a bite/drink ready for right after... this should help since they know that you know that it doesnt taste good and you should do it too for the first time so that they see that it masks the taste... and you need to quit calling it nasty in front of them!! they know it is and you keep saying it is so it isnt helpin the situation at all... this is the only way i could get my niece to take augmentin... my sister tried everything else just remember it has to be a srtong flavor before and after the meds and you need to do it with them for at least the first time a reward after is also very nice .... so they know that their cooperation was appreciated"

joshuasmommy318 replied: "I know that Walgreens can add flavoring to medication so that it doesn't taste so bad. I don't know if they do it for OTC meds, but I believe it is like $2.99 and it comes in a wide range of flavors. I also have a son who despises taking medication. Walgreens also gives me syringes that I load up and let my son take the medicine himself. That kind of takes the edge off because he's doing it like a big boy."

luv_my_six_boys replied: "mix it up with a little orange juice in a medicine measuring cups"

jr replied: "joshuasmommy3 has the right idea."

Does anyone have any info on tree pollen allergy-induced migraines in children? Recently, my 10 year old developed & was diagnosed with an allergy to oak pollen. She doesn't get the typical runny nose & sneezing, but her eyes get red & itchy, she gets chest tightness & says her throat is 'burning; sometimes she gets a horrible migraine, too. We've seen her pediatrician who recommended Kids' Claritin or Bendryl. (The Claritin gave her nosebleeds.) Does anyone out there have a child with a similar problem? What have you found that helps the most? She's seeing an allergist this week. I'm trying to find out as much info as I can. BTW, she's an athlete, loves the outdoors & will be away at 2 gymnastics camps this summer. Thanks in advance!

Good luck to all you allergy sufferers now..this is the WORST time of year!

karmatroll05 replied: "I use Alavert and Tylenol Allergy Complete. They work for me. If you use pre ion meds, Singular is pretty good."

snakekeeper27 replied: "Really, the only advise I can give you is to try different meds and see how they work for you. There are several pre ion meds too, so maybe asking your doc for something might help. Ask the pharmacist at the drug store. They are (usually) a wealth of info. I talk to my pharmacist way more than I talk to my doc and she is a Heaven send!!!"

nat31 replied: "I took Claritin, Reactine, Allegra..none of these pills worked for me. The only thing that is working for me is Nasacort (nasal spray). My doctor prescribed it no more sneezing, itchy watery red eyes.. Thanks to Nasacort, I can breathe again and don't feel allergies anymore."

Meg's replied: "Don't feel bad I know exactly how you feel I'm the same way, If I use one type of allergy medicine for a while it will stop working after a while. One that I have recently started trying is one that my daughter uses (not hers of course), they have one for the older generation as well it is called Aerius, and I have been on it for a few years and it works great with no side effects on me anyway, hope I've been of some help."

Claritin or Zyrtec...what works best while pregnant? Hi all. I am currently 7 months pregnant and miserable with allergies this year. My doc said either Claritin or Zyrtec is safe.....but which works best? My oldest son is also suffering this year and his doc said the same medicines. Which works best for kids? (He's 3)

Lisa replied: "Claritin. You can also try Alavert, it's the samething as Claritin but half the price. Just call your doc to double check since your preggers!"
