kids and allergies

I know Claritin has those reditabs that dissolve in your child's mouth but I think they are for 6 and up. Have you talked to your doctor about trying singulair. My son wouldn't take the Claritin syrup either and we switched to Singulair. He was 3 1/2 when we made the switch. It's a chewable tablet that tastes kind of like cherries. To get my son to take the claritin, I would give him a spoonful of applesauce and then his medicine and another spoonful of applesauce. Have you tried the grape flavored Claritin. It was a little easier to get my son to use that one. Singulair requres a prescription and it costs a lot but it is worth it. My son almost never has problems anymore. Talk to you pharmacist about what he would reccommend in the OTC children's allergy meds.

Do they make claritin in the quick melts for toddlers? I know they do in benadryl they melt so fast.

I feel sorry for your loved ones and i pray god to get her well soon and my best whishes are always with you people and hope good ways to you and dont loose your patience. I have no idea about this as my kid never complaints about allergies and i never heard it before with any of the mother till now. Sorry.

My stepdad used to be sales rep for CLarityn here in the UK and we used to get it in pill form all the time. It was a very very small pill as well. I think it would be perfectly safe to give her it as allergen medicine doesn't have many side effects. You could give her a half to be on the safe side. I did actually take a reacition once to that sort of medicine...it was another brand and just got very very very drowsy. But if she is fine with the syrup I am sure she will be fine with pill. Good luck..
