Depends on : It is not quite clear whether child was diagnosed as having 'allergies' to account for cough and other symptoms. If so, he/she should be given only 2.5 mg of Zyrtec (long acting antihistamine) once a day. Over-The-Counter med such as Delsym is not proven effective for 'cold' or 'allergies.'
