A member asked:
My son started coughing and has an itchy throat. what can i give him to alleviate the discomfort until we see an allergist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like: Allergy. You can certainly use Claritin (loratadine) (5 mg per 5 ml) syrup otc and follow instructions since you did not mention your son's age. Usually 6 months and up to six years old .Half teaspoon should do once at night. 6-12 years old one teaspoon once at night.
