Question

My doctor told me to give my son Zyrtec for his allergies, has anyone given that to their child and it helped them a lot? My son keeps waking up at night with the worst stuffy/drippy nose the past month and we came to the conclusion with his doctor that it was allergies. I’ve never given him any kind of allergy medicine so I’m just a little nervous! Anything else I can do to help with his allergies? I already got him an air purifier which seems to help a lot already

Thank you so much everyone!! I’ve never had allergies neither has my partner so we aren’t really familiar with allergy medication everyone here was so helpful!

I give my oldest Zyrtec nightly. Without it he coughs and acts up all day from feeling miserable. But he has allergic asthma. No sleepy side effects.

I give to my 4 yr old and it helps alot! It also helps my other children

My sons doctor prescribed him Zyrtec too. We give it to him at bed time every night  so if it does have a drowsy side effect we don’t see it. It has helped tremendously! If we miss a dose he wakes up with his drippy nose so I set an alarm every night on my phone to give it to him and he’s all good!

We also do Zyrtec for our kids. We used Claritin before but it didn’t work as well as Zyrtec has for us (I take Zyrtec too)

Emily · Answer

Did your kids have any kind of side effects from the Zyrtec??

@babybump21, nope!

Emily · Answer

@oneplusone, @massgirl, what about side effects? Does it make them sleepy or drowsy?

Mandy · Answer

No. It doesn't everyone is different though.

No but we also have given it at bedtime until recently.

We give my daughter Zyrtec every day during allergy seasons.

Mandy · Answer

I started giving my daughter Zyrtec when she was around two. I gave it to her every other day unless the pollen was supposed to be bad or I knew she was going to be outside for a while. It helped a lot. She's recently been diagnosed with asthma and I have to give it to every day.
