A member asked:

What is harmful about giving children < 2 allegra (fexofenadine)? my 10 mth old has had a constant runny nose with sneezing for 5 weeks. my 4 y/o has allergies also.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would use > 6m: I find this helpful in many kids & use it over 6m of age. However, most congestion/sneezing in infants & toddlers is related to illness or nasal irritants like smoke, fragrance, fumes & the like & the primary rx is avoidance. Antihistamines have no effect when used for drainage triggered by irritants.
