I'm not positive on that, but I feel like my SIL (a nurse) said she gives some sort of Claritin to her two year old and that it works pretty well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-and-meds#post-1839938 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 07:41:03 +0000 mrsjyw 1839938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks like DS inherited my fall allergies! It comes and goes and is definitely manageable most days. We've given benadryl a couple of times when it's been bad, but today he woke up really stuffed up with dried mucus. Is there a OTC decongestant that works for toddlers? Or is the waiting game and/or benadryl our only option? </p>
