A member asked:
Is it possible for you to give a 2 year old cetirizine hydrochloride syrup 1 ml for cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with doc: Cetirizine is good as an allergy medicine for control over a period of time. It's not meant as an acute treatment. If your child suddenly has cough, you should have him examined to make sure the issue is viral vs. Asthma or other etiology. A 2 year old can take cetirizine, but it's off-label, and should be guided by a physician.
