Yes: There are side effects or potential side effects to all medications, supplements, vitamins, therapies, and life in general. A decision to use or not use any treatment is always a risk vs benefit analysis. You should discuss this with your children's doctor.

I gave 2 tsp of Zyrtec 1mg/ml syrup to my 4,5 year old son. Then I realised that this is 4 times of the recommended dose for 2-6 years old children. Shall I worry about it or what do you recommend me to do? Thank you in advance?
