A member asked:
Is it ok to give 5ml of cetirizine hydrochloride (bp) 5mg to 4 years old for allergic symptoms including cough that is more severe in morning.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Natural remedies: Antihistamines may not be very safe for kids under 4 yrs. Try these, since they reduce inflammation (allergy) effectively and do not cause any side effects 1. Eliminate milk, yogurt, kefir, cheese 2. Raw honey 1/2 teaspoon 2 times/day 3. Sunshine for 30 min at noon or vitamin D3 3000 IU/day 4. Probiotics (raw apple cider vinegar, probiotic pills) 5. Small amount of liquorice tea
