Okay to give 2yr old prednisilone in the am and children's claritin (loratadine) at night?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes, that should be: fine, unless the child has a contraindication for either. Please speak to the doctor prescribing the prednisolone if you have further, more specific questions.

Prednisolone in arm: Claritin (loratadine) is ok but any oral cortisone should only be given under a doctor's direction especially for younger children. If the situation warrants prednisolone, it warrants a doctor's visit.

Depends: If your babies doc prescribed both these meds for your kid it is okay to give them at different times.
