Allergy Treatment for Children
Trisha over at Ideas for Women wrote a commentary and some tips for coping with allergies.

For small children, she recommends Zyrtec and Claritin. Depending on the age of your child, Zyrtec comes in syrup, chewable tablets or normal tablets. For Claritin, there's syrup or tablets, or Reditabs, which dissolve in water.

In our case, somehow, we got stuck with Fenistil Drops, although my son is already nearly four, and could probably take tablets without problems. But the last time he got allergy bouts, it still worked like a dream, so why fix something if it's not broken, right?

For more info on allergy treatment for kids, go over Dr. Vincent Iannelli's article for About/Pediatrics. Trisha is also starting a primer on Allergies and you can find the first in the series here.
