It doesn't seem effective so we just switched to Claritin about a week ago to see if it provides more relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-in-toddlers#post-1552619 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 06:23:35 +0000 Katrocap 1552619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @coacheswife123: I'm sorry your LOs have seasonal allergies, too. It's comforting, though, to hear that it's not that uncommon. I guess I'm lucky, I don't experience allergies, so it's new to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-in-toddlers#post-1552272 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:43:13 +0000 Katrocap 1552272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamasig: Thanks, that makes sense :happy: The pedi's note said, "give 2ml at bedtime," but DH wasn't sure if that meant EVERY night. DS's face is often red, he has itchy eyes and skin, so I'm on board with anything that helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-in-toddlers#post-1552271 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:42:34 +0000 pl0508 1552271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months and he gets Claritin every day. Poor guy has my awful allergies. I feel so bad for him. I take shots to manage mine and will be glad when he can too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-in-toddlers#post-1552268 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:41:36 +0000 yoursilverlining 1552268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; LO (22 months) gets a half of children's Claritin every day. </p> <p>I have really bad allergies and LO was really rubbing her eyes and said they itched/hurt and was sneezing a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-in-toddlers#post-1552258 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:37:33 +0000 Mamasig 1552258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS gets Zyrtec every morning. He's 18 months and we've been doing this for a couple of months. I figure he needs maintenance allergy meds like his mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seasonal-allergies-in-toddlers#post-1552242 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:27:56 +0000 Katrocap 1552242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 15 months and has bad eczema, especially splotchy on his cute face. At the pedi's on Monday he was diagnosed with seasonal allergies. The doctor suggested giving him Zyrtec before bed. DH asked if it's okay to give it to DS every night, and I realized I don't know. Does anyone else give their LOs allergy medicine regularly? I'll call the pedi tomorrow but just wanted to check on HB. </p>
