A member asked:
My 8 yr old takes loratadine syrup everyday for allergies, but her sinuses are very congested, is it ok to give her children's mucinex (guaifenesin) with it?

Yes: you can give them together. Loratadine though doesn't help congestion, it helps control sneezing, runny nose and nasal itching, Mucinex would loosen the mucus secretions, also saline nasal washes can help some, if no improvement , better see her doctor for assessment, wish you both wellness
